The Earth is Wrapped in Plastic

Modern societies have discovered that plastic can cause severe harm to the environment and human health. But do enough people know how poor plastic control and dispensation can specifically impact them to care for and make a difference? The Earth is Wrapped in Plastic gives a detailed overview of human dependence on plastic and the potential consequences of plastic pollution. Understanding the history and manufacturing of plastic helps explain the massiveness of the problem that would take a lot of effort and people to mitigate the effects of unsustainable plastic use. Growing pressure on governmental agencies and large corporations has effectively started the push for safer consumption of plastic and environmentally-friendly alternatives. Sustained efforts would help reduce our 'plastic footprint' on the Earth.
