Disposable plastic is toxic not only to the body but also to the soul. The more we see things as trash once they no longer serve us, the less we are able to find the beauty and value in our relationships with each other, or even the intrinsic value of ourselves once we are no longer “productive.” In the February issue of Sojourners, “Poison to Body and Soul” describes how plastics are killing us, while the current recycling system conditions us to accept a disposable culture.
