Beth Terry is the author of Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too. She writes the popular blog, My Plastic-Free Life, and is a founding member of the Plastic Pollution Coalition.
Beth gives presentations on living plastic-free, and why our personal changes *do* make a difference. She spearheaded the successful Take Back the Filter Brita recycling campaign in 2008, and her life and work have been profiled in Susan Freinkel's book, Plastic: A Toxic Love Story, in Captain Charles Moore's book, Plastic Ocean, and in the award-winning film, Bag It.
When she's not out fighting plastic pollution, she spends her time with her husband, and two rascally kitties in Oakland, CA. You can follow her on Twitter at @PlasticfreeBeth.
