One Plastic bag
In the book ,”One Plastic Bag” from Miranda Paul, the book is mainly about Isatou Ceesay helping to collect plastic bags. My favorite part was when Isatou and her gang collect the plastic bags and reusing them to make purses. This book reminded me of a festival at my school called ”Bash the Trash” where they reuse recycled items and make them into instruments. The message of this book is don’t just throw away plastic bags reuse them. The book made me think about how the people of Gambia survive with plastic bags just sitting around on the ground. Also it made me think about the animals that eat the plastic bags. To me it’s just miserable to see plastic bags on the ground and hear animals are suffering from eating the plastic bags.
Banning Plastic Bags in Bali
In the video “Banning Plastic bags in Bali” by TED Talk, the video is mainly about two girls changing Bali’s amount of plastic bags. My favorite part was when it showed the group that participated in changing the amount of plastic bags in Bali. This book reminded me of when I told my mom not to throw away plastic bags. The message of this book is one little bag could change the world. The girls campaign to ban plastic bags in Bali inspired me to do the same because I love animals, and if plastic bags end up in the jungle, fields, and even sidewalks, the animals there will probably die.
