How to Live Plastic Free: a day in the life of a plastic detox

£10.99

Choking. Starving. Poisoning. That’s what plastic litter is doing to marine life. The facts are stark and astonishing: 8 tonnes of plastic are dumped into the sea every minute, while an estimated 300 billion pieces of plastic are currently floating in the Arctic Ocean. Approximately 100,000 marine creatures and 1 million sea birds die from plastic entanglement each year and some areas of our ocean contain six times more microplastics than plankton, yet there are steps we can take to arrest this dreadful trajectory. This book will teach you everything you need to know about giving up plastic and living a plastic-free life.
