So much of what we buy as consumers is packaged in plastic, or made of plastic. The only real way to make that change is to require that producers are the ones who are responsible for managing plastic at the end of its use.

Being part of a team that is so focussed on solutions and actually doing the work strategically, with an eye toward getting as many other people to be inspired to participate has really changed my world view, and I would say that I am very optimistic that it is possible to make change because I have seen it first hand.
