Earth Day Plastic-free Prize Pack

“We take natural substances created over millions of years, fashion them into products designed for a few minutes’ use, and then return them to the planet as litter that we’ve engineered to never go away.”

Susan Freinkel is talking about plastic, the substance we have come to rely on more completely than any other synthetic material ever produced. In light of her perspective-altering revelations about our plastic consumption, we at HMH are celebrating Earth Day with a Plastic-free Prize Pack! Enter our sweepstakes for your chance to win a copy of the book and a starter kit for living green, with a tote, food containers, water bottle and more all made from sustainable materials. Plus, it’s all pretty cute, too. Scroll down for a complete listing of prize pack items.

The Sweepstakes ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on April 25, 2011. One winner will be picked in a random drawing.
