review) "I encourage everyone to read this book." -Dr. Jane Goodall
There's no doubt about it-plastic is in almost everything. From our
phones and computers to our toys and utensils, plastic is
everywhere. But the amount of plastic we throw away is hurting the
health of our planet. With The Last Straw: Kids vs. Plastics,
readers will be fascinated as they learn about the growing plastic
problem and meet just a few of the young activists who are standing
up and speaking out for change. You'll hear about the "Be Straw
Free" campaign, started by nine-year-old Milo Cress. You'll
discover how scientists are using jellyfish snot and munching,
crunching caterpillars to break down plastic pollution faster.
You'll meet Xochitl Guadalupe Cruz Lopez, the eight-year-old girl
turning old plastic bottles into solar heaters. And there are many
more incredible kids here, not much older than our readers, who
will inspire us all to change the way we think about plastic! With
an introduction from Milo Cress and bright, colorful illustrations
from Christiane Engel, this collection of brilliant, lyrical
nonfiction poems by award-winning author Susan Hood highlights the
threat of plastic and the kids who are fighting for change to save
our planet. Includes extensive backmatter with a timeline, author's
note, further resources, and more.
