Single-use plastics have an enemy in teenage activists Amy and Ella Meek, and this practical book invites budding eco-warriors to join their mission to rid the world of them. Be Plastic Clever teaches young activists about the dangers of plastic pollution and climate change, while also helping them find their own voice. Amy and Ella want their book to help young readers speak up about the issues they care about and inspire them to become activists in their own right. The sisters founded Kids Against Plastic with the goal of ridding UK supermarkets of single-use plastic bottles, and their campaign has grown and grown ever since – together they’ve picked up more than 60,000 pieces of single-use plastic litter, delivered their own TedX talk, and gathered a crack team of kids across the UK to help tackle the problem. They’ve spoken at the Houses of Parliament and the UN, and created the #BePlasticClever campaign to encourage schools, businesses, and festivals to think more carefully about their plastic use – all while juggling school! With an incredible foreword by wildlife presenter Steve Backshall, diary entries from Amy and Ella charting their journey, and plenty of practical tips, this is the ultimate guide to ridding the world of single-use plastics.
