Publisher's Synopsis
Plastic seems like a miraculous invention. You can make it into any shape, color, or size, and it can be flexible or sturdy. It also lasts forever—and that's the problem. Kids are educated as to how the use of disposable plastic became a crisis, why recycling programs are growing faster than the collected plastic can be processed, and how they can start taking individual responsibility starting with refusing single-use plastic products. Students learn about the creative solutions that visionary people across the planet are using to curb plastic waste. They're encouraged to become Emergency Planetary Technicians and find out what they can do every day to reduce the use of plastic.
