This book is all about plastic. In this educational material you will find the facts about plastic, everything you need to know about our plastic problem, how it affects the environment and how we can preserve it. From our ocean pollution problem and information about it to possible solutions and recyclable plastics. This educative book will teach kids, young and old ecologists about how our actions impact on planet Earth and the big changes we can make with the little things we do. Did you happen to know that every single plastic toothbrush ever made still exists? Or that a floating mess of junk larger than the US is drifting in the Pacific Ocean? From toys to disposable bags, plastic has shaped the modern world. But after 100 years of our affectionate relationship, we are gradually discovering that it is not such a wholesome relationship. As Thomas Brown notes in this eye-opening book, we have reached a crisis moment. Plastics are derived from disappearing fossil fuels, leaching out hazardous substances, polluting environments and destroying ocean wildlife. We are drowning in this junk and we have to begin to make some hard-hitting decisions. Think, breathe, act brings this issue to life with brilliance for its readers. But it also conveys a sense of hope; although the scope of the threat is immense, so is the dedication of the people working to solve it. Think, breathe, act highlights a multitude of interesting plastic waste reduction and public awareness-building campaigns, from alternative materials to social media zero-plastic cooking guides and huge plastic cleanup ocean nets.
