What is the problem with plastic? Where does plastic come from? Why do we use plastic? Why is plastic in the ocean? Is plastic harming the ocean? Hannah Li
Summary:
"Every single minute, a dump-truck's worth of plastic is emptied into the ocean, trashing beaches, killing wildlife, making food supplies dangerous, and contributing to climate change. Most plastic can remain in the environment for hundreds of years. And almost half of it is single use. Why are we doing this? Why don't we stop? Can we undo the damage we've already done? Why Does Plastic Hurt the Planet? unravels these difficult questions."-- From back cover
