SUMMARY |
In 1907, synthetic plastic was invented. Since then, plastic has benefited humanity even while polluting the Earth. During the 1950s, plastic production rapidly increased and since then, billions of tons of plastic have been created. Millions of tons of plastic enter the world's oceans and ecosystems every year. This book examines the global plastic pollution problem, how it became so bad, and the steps governments, activists, and young people are taking to demand change. |
