Ban the Plastic Bag order quantity

Paperback
Author: Rebecca Hoskins

Every year 17 billion carrier bags are given away free in the UK - that means an average of 300 carrier bags for every man, woman and child in Britain. Plastics do not biodegrade. Scientists now estimate that plastic lasts for at least 1000 years. Every carrier bag that has ever been produced is still on the planet, in landfill, hedgerows, or floating in the sea. Plastic bag litter is lethal, killing over 100,000 seabirds, dolphins, seals, whales and turtles every year. In May 2007, Modbury in South Devon became Britain's first plastic bag free town. This book takes the Modbury story and uses it as a call to action, entreating every village, town and city in the country to follow Modbury's example and Ban The Plastic Bag.

Structured as a series of rangers' missions, this excellent book educates intermediate-age children (and their families)about the environmental issues facing them today, and encourages them to make informed choices on a range of subjects from saving energy and water to using transport, technology and products. The topics are divided thematically into three sections covering a) local New Zealand issues, such as pollution, b) global issues, such as climate change, and c) projects (such as how to make a compost heap or recycle cardboard and plastic into new products). Each topic contains a introduction to the subject, 15-20 suggestions for things they can do to help 'save the world', illustrations, jokes, quotes and useful website addresses for further information. Each of the first 12 topics also contains an inspirational story about an 'eco hero' who has contributed an outstanding achievement to the environment.

The reviews are stunning:

'... a damning critique of the 'evidence' underpinning man-made global warming.'—Wall Street Journal

'...a wonderfully comprehensive and fearless book...If there are any willing to hear some truly inconvenient truths on the stampeding advocacy of global warming, Mr. Plimer's book is a collection of some of the sternest.' —The Globe and Mail

'...a brilliantly argued book... /Heaven and Earth/ is an evidence-based attack on conformity and orthodoxy, including my own, and a reminder to respect informed dissent and beware of ideology subverting evidence.'—Sydney Morning Herald

'Only a geological perspective can provide a proper view of climate change. Professor Plimer's book does a masterful job of demonstrating that Nature rules the climate, not human activity.'—S. Fred Singer, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia
