About "Microplastic Madness"
Fifth graders from P.S. 15 in Red Hook, Brooklyn, living on the frontline of the climate crisis, took action on plastic pollution by collecting local data, leading community outreach and informing policy by testifying and rallying at City Hall. Then they took action in their cafeteria to eliminate all single-use plastic! With heartfelt kid commentary and interviews of experts and renowned scientists who are engaged in the most cutting edge research on the harmful effects of microplastics, this alarming, yet charming narrative conveys an urgent message in user-friendly terms.
