July 17, 2009 was the first annual “Buy No Food in Plastic Day”. 

The day raised our awareness of the ubiquitousness of plastic in our food packaging.

Why is plastic food packaging a problem?
- plastic never goes away.
- not all plastic is recyclable.
- not all recyclable plastic is recycled.
- plastic leaches toxins into our bodies, our water, our air, and our earth creating havoc in ways we are only just beginning to understand.

Low Crap Diet seeks to find ways to clean up both our inner and outer world by getting real about what we eat, including how our food is packaged by raising awareness and offering solutions.

The next “Plastic Free Day” is July 17, 2010.
