Description

Hi Friend,

It's me, Earth! I hope you like living on me, but we need to talk.

I need your help to solve a BIG problem...You're covering me with plastic!

But don't worry, I know you've got my back-after all, you do live on it.

Love, Your Earth Friend Forever

Told in the form of a letter from Earth to the reader, this humorous picture book takes an in-depth look at how the actions of humans, particularly their use of plastic, is impacting the planet and how they can make simple changes in their every day life to help protect the place they call home. Additional back matter includes a letter from the reader to Earth, information on what plastic is and how it's made, and scientific solutions that are currently in the works.
