Description
Plastics: A Comprehensive Guide to the Life Cycle of Plastics Imari Walker-Franklin and Jenna Jambeck explore the entire life cycle of plastics, from production and use to waste generation and management. This book delves into the environmental and societal impacts of plastics on our environment, as well as the policies that can help reduce pollution caused by their heavy use. The authors examine why we rely so heavily on plastic for products, how trash ends up in remote corners of the world, and the alternatives and interventions that can address this overreliance. They also discuss the potential harms of microplastics on human health and provide a summary of current knowledge on ocean and terrestrial plastic pollution. With its accessible tone, Plastics empowers readers with crucial knowledge and information to make thoughtful consumer choices and influence change.
