Description
Much of what you have heard about plastics is not true. Recycling is more complicated than it is presented – only less than nine percent of the plastics we create are reused, and most end up in the ocean. Plastic pollution is not limited to the open ocean – it is in the air we breathe and in the food we eat. According to recent research, microplastics are even in our blood. In the book "The Sea of Plastic," Erica Cirino embarks on a journey around the world and introduces readers to scientists and activists who tell the true story of the plastic crisis – from the deck of a sailboat that collects plastics to the laboratories conducting research on microplastics and chemicals. Erica Cirino paints a picture of how plastic pollution threatens not only human health but all life on the planet.
