Last Straw: Kids vs. Plastics

IS PLASTIC FANTASTIC?

Theres no doubt about itplastic is in almost everything! From our phones and computers to our toys and utensils, plastic is everywhere. But the amount of plastic we throw away is hurting the health of our planet.

InThe Last Straw: Kids vs. Plastics, readers will be fascinated by the growing plastic problem and meet just a few of the young activists who are standing up and speaking out for change. Theyll hear about:

the Be Straw Free campaign, started by nine-year-old Milo Cress, who also wrote an introduction to this book;

how scientists are using jellyfish snot and munching, crunching caterpillars to break down plastic pollution faster;

Xchitl Guadalupe Cruz Lpez, the eight-year-old girl turning old plastic bottles into solar heaters;

and many more incredible kids, not much older than our readers

Acclaimed author Susan Hoods clever and accessible poems are perfectly paired with Christiane Engels vibrant and dynamic art, making this a book that will inspire us all to change the way we think about plastic and our part in caring for our planet.
