Kate Nelson has been a source of knowledge and inspiration to me since pre Ethically So. days. It only feels right that we can share her amazing education around plastic consumption and our Earth with our amazing audience too!

“I Quit Plastics” is an introductory guide to quitting plastics that entertains and inspires. Kate shares some of her mermaid journey as she veered far off the plastics path into an exploration of environmental ethics. Kate has created some useful strategies and tactics for you to quit plastics as well.

Full of doable, easy, cheap DIY recipes in three categories: FOOD, BODY CARE, and CLEANING.

Enjoy for yourself or inspire your loved ones to think a bit deeper about their every day choices. It all adds up for our planet.

“PLASTIC DOES NOT DECOMPOSE.

It is a material meant to last, not designed for disposable items. The purpose of #IQuitPlastics is the reduce our dependence on single-use plastics. Such as one-time use thin plastic grocery bags that fly around the city, into the ocean, choking a dolphin, and breaking into micro bits absorbing other pollutants in the sea, and threatening the rest of the creatures out there with their toxic microscopic selves for eons. Or a straw you suck a beverage from in five minutes that lasts 1000 years all the while getting lodged in turtle noses and committing other horrendous acts.

We are highly intelligent, innovative, and also dependent on the health of our planet; I believe we can do better than disposable plastics.

THIS IS HOW I QUIT PLASTICS.”
