  />An accessible guide to the changes we can all make--small and large--to
  rid our lives of disposable plastic and clean up the world's oceans.</p>\
 n<p>It takes 450 years for a plastic bottle to fully biodegrade\, and ther
 e are around 12.7 million tons of plastic entering the ocean each year. At
  our current pace\, in the year 2050 there could be more plastic in the oc
 eans than fish\, by weight. These are alarming figures\, but plastic pollu
 tion is an environmental crisis with a solution we can all contribute to. 
 How to Give Up Plastic is a straightforward guide to eliminating plastic f
 rom your life. Going room by room through your home and workplace\, Greenp
 eace activist Will McCallum teaches you how to spot disposable plastic ite
 ms and find plastic-free\, sustainable alternatives to each one. From carr
 ying a reusable straw\, to catching microfibers when you wash your clothes
 \, to throwing plastic-free parties\, you'll learn new and intuitive ways 
 to reduce plastic waste. And by arming you with a wealth of facts about gl
 obal plastic consumption and anecdotes from activists fighting plastic aro
 und the world\, you'll also learn how to advocate to businesses and leader
 s in your community and across the country to commit to eliminating dispos
 able plastics for good</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>This group will meet the <span sty
