A unique and beautiful approach to understanding the plastic
problem with practical actions to help protect the planet. 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. Using the Mind Mappers
technique that combines beautiful illustrations, easy-to-follow
charts, and compelling text, the youngest readers can learn how
plastics they use every day are hurting the earth, and the things
they can do today to protect the planet. BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS:
Combines the beauty of a picture book with science-based facts and
information. TIMELY TOPIC: Inspired by activists such as Greta
Thunberg, kids are concerned about the environment and are taking
active roles at home, school, and in the community to protect the
planet. UNIQUE APPROACH: Why Does Plastic Hurt the Planet? uses
"mind mapping," where complex ideas are broken down into a clear
flow of visual information. ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY READER: The text is
carefully layered and leveled for emerging to proficient readers.
COMPLETE THE MIND MAPPERS COLLECTION: How Do We Stop Climate
Change? and Are We Running Out of Water? are also available.
