Plastic built the modern world. Where would we be without bike helmets, baggies, toothbrushes, and pacemakers? But a century into our love affair with plastic, we're starting to realize it's not such a healthy relationship. Plastics draw dwindling fossil fuels, leach harmful chemicals, litter landscapes, and destroy marine life. As Susan Freinkel points out in this eye-opening book, we're nearing a crisis point. We're drowning in the stuff, and we need to start making some hard choices.
