“Like other books in the Orca Footprints series, this volume is accessible, broadly informative,
and illustrated with many pertinent colour photos. A timely introduction to a serious
environmental issue.”
Booklist (1 January, 2025)
“Durnford effectively communicates a sense of urgency. Young eco-activists will also find general
guidelines for localized projects, as well as specific instructions for laundering clothes to reduce
microfiber shedding, among other immediately applicable advice. Accentuates the positive
without minimizing the issue’s scope.”
Kirkus Reviews (11 February 2025)
“This is a great introduction to the history of plastics. Very informative and written at a level that
is digestible for young readers. Would work well with a study unit. Hand this book to budding
environmentalists or anyone interested in learning more about the plastic problem. A
recommended purchase for updating nonfiction collections.”
