About Beth Terry

Since 1991, I have worked as a freelance bookkeeper and accounting department manager for small businesses throughout the United States. Accounting gives me a needed break from all out activism. Since 2007, I have been attempting to live plastic-free and blogging about it at MyPlasticFreeLife.com. In 2012, I added book author to my resume. My book, Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too, was released by Skyhorse Publishing in June of that year and sold out the first printing in just a few months. An updated edition, with a whole new chapter and foreword by musician Jack Johnson, was released in April 2015.

   Saving the planet one cheese wrapper at a time!
