The book explains plastic’s development and use, then focuses on what can happen when plastic reaches places where it does not belong.
Children are encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle, undertake practical projects and contribute their own ideas, alongside examples of campaigners and inventors.
Pay attention to the balance between troubling images and hopeful responses: marine animals are shown tangled in or eating waste, while later pages present collective action and scientific ideas.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
