Book Description
My Little Plastic Bag tells the story of a little girl, Amy, who throws a plastic bag "away." It follows the plastic through the ecosystem until it comes back home in the fish that her family eats. Plastic in our water is now epidemic and one United Nations report says almost every square mile of the ocean contains 46,000 pieces of plastic and most are so small we can't see them. This plastic is ingested by the fish and other wildlife and that leads to the plastic chemicals getting into our food supply. My LIttle Plastic Bag will be perfect for reading to children ages 4 to 8 to educate them on two important ecological concepts: 1. There is no "away." 2. There are cycles in nature. Any child who is curious about nature and science will enjoy My Little Plastic Bag. This book gives teachers and parents a great teaching tool to build awareness of environmental stewardship. After all, the future belongs to our children. "It's important that children learn that plastic pollution is one of the most serious threats facing our natural world. My Little Plastic Bag helps kids understand how even a harmless action like throwing away a plastic bag can have serious consequences." --Diane MacEachern, Publisher, BigGreenPurse.com "As a Riverkeeper I believe this book can be a valuable tool for teaching young people about the problems plastic trash creates in our aquatic environment." --Travis Graves, Lower Neuse Riverkeeper

Book Description
An accessible guide to the changes we can all make—small and large—to rid our lives of disposable plastic and clean up the world’s oceans How to Give Up Plastic is a straightforward guide to eliminating plastic from your life. Going room by room through your home and workplace, Greenpeace activist Will McCallum teaches you how to spot disposable plastic items and find plastic-free, sustainable alternatives to each one. From carrying a reusable straw, to catching microfibers when you wash your clothes, to throwing plastic-free parties, you’ll learn new and intuitive ways to reduce plastic waste. And by arming you with a wealth of facts about global plastic consumption and anecdotes from activists fighting plastic around the world, you’ll also learn how to advocate to businesses and leaders in your community and across the country to commit to eliminating disposable plastics for good. It takes 450 years for a plastic bottle to fully biodegrade, and there are around 12.7 million tons of plastic entering the ocean each year. At our current pace, in the year 2050 there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish, by weight. These are alarming figures, but plastic pollution is an environmental crisis with a solution we can all contribute to.

Book Description
“Guides readers toward the road less consumptive, offering practical advice and moral support while making a convincing case that individual actions . . . do matter.” —Elizabeth Royte, author, Garbage Land and Bottlemania Like many people, Beth Terry didn’t think an individual could have much impact on the environment. But while laid up after surgery, she read an article about the staggering amount of plastic polluting the oceans, and decided then and there to kick her plastic habit. In Plastic-Free, she shows you how you can too, providing personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and individual solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. Presenting both beginner and advanced steps, Terry includes handy checklists and tables for easy reference, ways to get involved in larger community actions, and profiles of individuals—Plastic-Free Heroes—who have gone beyond personal solutions to create change on a larger scale. Fully updated for the paperback edition, Plastic-Free also includes sections on letting go of eco-guilt, strategies for coping with overwhelming problems, and ways to relate to other people who aren’t as far along on the plastic-free path. Both a practical guide and the story of a personal journey from helplessness to empowerment, Plastic-Free is a must-read for those concerned about the ongoing health and happiness of themselves, their children, and the planet.
