Plastic Ahoy! INvestigating the great pacific garbage patch
Bring Plastic Ahoy! Investigating the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to your home and classroom. The book and accompanying educator guide teach you about the world’s plastic problem. Plastic is used to make everything: drink bottles, bags, toys, and toothbrushes. But what happens when plastic ends up where it doesn’t belong? Like in the Pacific Ocean? How does plastic affect ocean life? Is it dangerous? And exactly how much is out there? Follow a team of researchers, crew, and volunteers explore the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, where millions of pieces of plastic have collected from rivers, beaches, and ocean traffic all over the world. Most of it has broken down into tiny pieces the size of confetti. We need to take action now to stop using plastic, because it never goes away.
