Description
The three plastic bottles have been translated into Urdu and Chinese. Single-use plastic forms 50% of total plastic production and contributes to 10 % of greenhouse gas production. Millions of tons are dumped into landfills and the seas and rivers every year – killing plants and animals by leaching poisons for hundreds of years before plastic completely degrades.
The fate of 3 plastic bottles – one thrown onto the road, another into a canal and the third into a recycling bin brings to life the present issues of plastic pollution and how important the 4 Rs are: Refuse, reduce reuse and recycle plastic. The book has been extensively used in schools to help support the school curriculum.
It is suitable for primary school children and will help encourage them to think about sustainability and plastic pollution. Many have used it as a storybook for their children before they sleep. Copies have been sent to Prince William to help his children understand the scourge of plastic pollution. All proceeds from the sale of this book will help those children around the world with whom perhaps we don’t have much in common except humanity.

The story is a thought- provoking way of raising awareness of the dangers of plastic to animals and humans. It could be used as a starting point across various curricula in primary school – especially geography, science and literacy.
Tracy Coles Head Teacher Blackwood Primary School Streetly UK –
Every young child should read this book- written in an engaging and informative style. Every class should have a copy.

This brilliantly written book will inspire readers to look after the planet and question if they have ever carelessly thrown away a plastic bottle which harms marine animals by leaching out poisons. The quiz is a perfect way to teach children about recycling and WASUP – World Against Single Use Plastic. The poem is inspiring as it makes the reader wish the world was just as in the poem.
