This well-researched little book sweeps away our preconceived ideas about plastic bags and debris, polymers and petroleum, and in general, the directions we take as a society.
You will discover that certain initiatives labelled 'ecological' are far more polluting than you thought and that plastics actually present many ecological benefits !
Taking off from the example of the plastic bag, you will learn of numerous paradoxes that touch your daily life. One such paradox is a law that bans plastic bags and makes biodegradable bags obligatory...
But did you know that biodegradable bags are in fact more polluting than plastic bags ? That the invention of plastic helped save the elephants ? That in the future plastics will actually communicate ? Contrary to previous thinking, plastics fit in perfectly with sustainable development, and they preserve our natural resources.
With the help of stories, examples, statistics and interviews, The Plastic Bag War alerts us eco-citizens that we must look beyond 'the rhetoric' to make the proper decisions.
