Instead of a great island of trash, the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch is made up of manmade debris spread over hundreds of miles of sea--more like a soup than a floating garbage dump. Less than nine percent of the plastic we create is reused, and microplastic fragments are found almost everywhere, even in our bodies. In Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis, journalist Erica Cirino brings readers on a globe-hopping journey to meet the scientists and activists telling the real story of the plastic crisis. New technologies and awareness bring some hope, but Cirino shows that we can only fix the problem if we begin to repair our throwaway culture. Thicker Than Water is an eloquent call to reexamine the systems churning out waves of plastic waste." -- $c Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Plastic scrap $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Plastics $x Environmental aspects. 941 $a 1 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20231108010327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=810DEF647E0411EE85718D4F22ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
