It’s in your toothbrush … your clothes … your earbuds. Chances are, you’re touching it right now. We’re talking about plastic! Plastic is absolutely everywhere and in practically everything we touch, from pens to water bottles to sports equipment. And a lot of it is used once and then thrown away. Unfortunately, it takes a REALLY long time for plastic to break down and it can be harmful to our environment, especially wildlife. But why and when did we start using it in so much stuff? And how do we stop?
“KIDS VS. PLASTIC: How You Can Ditch the Straw and Find the Pollution Solution to Bottles, Bags and Other Single Use Plastic,” is a great start! This book answers all of your burning questions about plastic and offers tangible ways to get involved, reduce plastic use, and create a more plastic-free future!
National Geographic is working hard to gather the best in research, technology, education, and storytelling to create incredible change, but they can’t do this without help-they need all of us. We all are a really important part of finding solutions to plastic pollution. They have a dedicated Kids vs Plastic website which features videos, crafts, activities and downloadable tool kits: https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/nature/kids-vs-plastic/
