time did its own article. (and it tipped me off to one woman’s blog. she’s way more serious and committed than i was in a week.)

a few facts stood out for me.

The U.S. produced 28 million tons of plastic waste in 2005 — 27 million tons of which ended up in landfills.

Plastic makes up nearly 12% of our trash, up from 1% in 1960.
