If you know where to find a good plastic-free shampoo, can you tell Jeanne Haegele Last September, the 28-year-old Chicago resident 1 to cut plastics out of her life. The marketing coordinator was concerned about what the chemicals coming out of some common types of plastic might be doing to her body. She was also worried about the damage all the plastic 2 was doing to the environment. So she 3 on her bike and rode to the nearest grocery store to see what she could find that did not include plastic. "I went in and barely bought anything," Haegele says. She did 4 some canned food and a carton (纸盒) of milk—only to discover later that both 5 were lined with plastic resin (树脂)."Plastic," she says, "just seemed like it was in everything."
She is right. Back in the 1960s, plastic was well on its way to becoming a staple of American life. The US produced 28 million tons of plastic waste in 2005—27 million tons of which 6 up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), Our food and water come 7 in plastic. It’s used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the infinitely adaptable substance has its dark side.
Environmentalists feel worried about the petroleum needed to make it. Parents worry about the possibility of 8 chemicals their way from household plastic into children’s bloodstreams. Which means Haegele is not the only person trying to cut plastic out of her life—she is not even the only one blogging about this kind of 9 . But those who have tried know it is far from easy to go plastic-free. "These things seem to be so common that it is 10 impossible to avoid coming into contact with them," says Frederick Vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri.
