Our Plastic Problem

The purpose of this book is to raise much needed awareness and encourage action against plastic pollution of the oceans. We present the scientific concepts of plastic, and the effect it is having on the environment and marine wildlife, in simplified concepts and language suitable for children. The plight of marine wildlife is tragic but while the collages present realistic situations for marine life, they are not designed to disturb and upset young readers. Rather, it invites them to look more closely at how the plastic waste is affecting marine wildlife and open discussions on what they can see as causing the problem, and what could be done to help. It is our fervent hope that the teachers, parents and story readers also learn and take on the messages in this story.
