Ever stop to think about all the products you've come to depend on that are made of plastic? It's pretty disturbing when you consider that plastic is almost always made of petroleum, and that the energy used to transport the petroleum and create the final product was almost certainly from fossil fuels.
Imagine trying to live without the following items:

• television
• computer and monitor
• cell phone
• portable music player
• credit cards
• toothbrush
• refrigerator
• plastic wrap
• etc.
