Susan Freinkel's
Plastic, A Toxic Love Story is a riveting read about
plastic and its effects. I found Susan's well researched portrayal of plastic hard to put down, and at times I was bewildered at how an educated society can seemingly not care about the impact this material is having on life. Albatrosses are one of many
animals affected by a material that is all too often disposed of without thought. Susan's in depth account of various objects including cash cards,
combs,
monoblocs and
bottles, but particularly the ubiquitous
cigarette lighter, had my
head in a spin. And then there is the
Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Highly recommended.
