"The Truth About Plastic"
If you know where to find a good plastic-free shampoo, can you tell Jeanne Haegele? Last September, the 28-year-old Chicago resident resolved(resolve)to cut plastics out of her life. The marketing coordinator was【C1】______(concern)about what the chemicals【C2】______(leach)out of some common types of plastic might be doing to her body. She was also worried about the damage all the plastic refuse was doing to the environment. So she【C3】______(hop)on her bike and rode to the nearest grocery store to see what she could find that didn’ t include plastic. "I went in and【C4】______(bare)bought anything, " Haegele says. She did purchase some canned food and a carton of milk—-only to【C5】______(discover)later that both containers were lined with plastic resin. "Plastic, " she says, "just seemed like it was in everything. "
She’s right. Back when Dustin Hoffman received the most famous one-word piece of career advice in cinema history, plastic was well on its way to【C6】______(become)a staple of American life. The U. S. produced 28 million tons of plastic waste in 2005—27 million tons of which ended up in landfills. Our food and water come wrapped in plastic. It’s used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the【C7】______(infinite)adaptable substance has its dark side. Environmentalists fret about the petroleum【C8】______(need)to make it. Parents worry about the possibility of toxic chemicals making their way from household plastic into children’s bloodstreams. Which means Haegele isn’ t the only person trying to cut plastic out of her life—she isn’t even the only one【C9】______(blog)about this kind of endeavor. But those who’ ve tried to know it’s far from easy to go plastic-free. "These things are so ubiquitous that it is practically【C10】______(possible)to avoid coming into contact with them, " says Frederick vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri.
