We all use it every day but what happens when we throw it away? The BIG problem is that it does not disappear. In this title kids will act as environmental scientists to learn about the problem with plastic; single use plastic; plastics in landfill; plastic in the ocean; microplastics and the dangers to birds, animals and the environment. On a more positive note they will also learn about recycling; plastic free packaging; beach clean-up operations and the actions we can all take to reduce the plastic pollution and save our oceans. This title is filled with critical thinking questions and answers, activities and experiments, and it is supported with downloadable worksheets.
