Alli Johnston doesn't do new year's resolutions, but she's looking at the start of 2018 as a way to change how she consumes plastic. The western Newfoundland artist would like to make this year completely plastic-free but says that's not realistic. "It's a bit maddening sometimes when you go to the grocery store — everything is wrapped in plastic," said Johnston. To kick off the year, Johnston switched from laundry detergent packaged in plastic bottles to the type that comes in cardboard. Fuelled by recycling woesDespite frustrations with provincial recycling limitations, Johnston says people can still make changes by reducing and reusing.
