Book of the Month
One Plastic Bag
One Plastic Bag by Miranda Paul is mainly about some women that fixed a problem that helped all of Gambia. My favorite part was when the problem was solved and people had purses, because I like happy endings. The book reminded me of the rabbit and the hare. People were throwing plastic bags in the ground they expected they would go into the ground but they didn’t like the hare thought he would win no matter what even if he takes a nap. The women that made the purses took their time and were slow but got it over with and people thought they were crazy during the process, the animals thought the turtle would get crushed, but he went very slow and he won! The message of this book is plastic bags are bad for the environment. I think that if the women did not try to fix the problem Gambia would be full of plastic bags by now because there was a problem and if they did not fix it, no one would. For example, people thought they were crazy during the process, and if they think they’re crazy why would they want to be crazy. It was a fascinating story. It made me think about the green club.
Banning Plastic Bags in Bali
In the TED talk banning plastic bags in Bali mainly is about how two girls made a difference and solved a problem. My favorite part was when they showed the picture of them at the airport because after all there pushing they finally got in. The TED talk remind me of the old saying kids can make a difference. The message of this TED talk is kids can make a difference. I think that kids are very brave because they were not afraid of the challenge. It inspired me and kids can make a difference.
