PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 12, 2023
Plastic is everywhere. It has infiltrated our land, waters and all living things. Plastic poison is in our bloodstream. We know it is bad. Yet societies throughout the world seem unable to create a plan to end the plastic age. Consumers have the power to make change. We can vote and make change in our government, and we can make change to industry and businesses by changing what we buy. Don’t buy anything in plastic. If enough consumers stop buying plastic-wrapped food, business will follow your lead. ~ Christine Force, Yarmouth
