Hi! What’s your name? We’re Alex and Micky, and together we’re Team Anti-Pollution!
We have an important job to do! We want to defend the planet from a harmful enemy: POLLUTION. Pollution fills the environment with poisonous waste and threatens beautiful places like forests and the ocean.
A real threat
One of the biggest threats out there is PLASTIC, which is used to make bottles, plates, glasses, straws, lids, and many other items. Plastic can be a problem! We’ll tell you why on the following pages...
Things can change: just turn the wheel! But for now, it’s time to turn our words into actions, and you’ll be the one to decide what we do!
Each chaptEr contains a whEEl. turn it to complEtE thE picturE and dEcidE how wE bEhavE. thEn turn thE pagE to discovEr how things changE dEpEnding on thE dEcision you’vE madE.
If you don’t like the impact your choices have on nature, go back a page and make a different decision. We all make mistakes, but we can learn and improve from them!
If you know what it is...you can avoid it.
Plastic is everywhere! It’s used to make packaging, furniture, bags, and even clothes and toys.
A microplastic emergency
Plastic can be so small that it’s nearly invisible and able to infiltrate just about everything, including the bodies of animals and people.
Good or bad?
Plastic isn’t dangerous on its own, but it isn ’ t biodEgradablE, mEaning it doEsn ’ t brEak down. For example, it will take nature 1,000 years to get rid of a water bottle!
Alex really liked his snack! But what will he do with the plastic wrapper?

Ranking the bad guys
Each of us can help protect the environment from its enemies: What plastic product could you give up?
Straws: give them a rest! They’re colorful and fun, but plastic straws are one of nature’s most dangerous enemies.
Balloons: deflate this enemy
If they end up in nature, all they do is pollute. Skip them for your next party!
Chewing gum is no game!
Did you know that chewing gum contains plastic?
Don’t spit it out on the sidewalk!
Micky is drinking water, and Alex is worried. What’s better: a single-use water bottle or a reusable one?
Drinking from a reusable bottle helps reduce the amount of plastic produced!

Micky’s choices even have consequences for the air in the city!

Be a guardian of our planet!
Help your family make the right choices every day, like when you’re out shopping.
Who’s hungry?
Plastic plates and utensils are convenient, but they’re used only once and then thrown away. That means they pollute the environment for years!
Too much packaging
Global cleanup!
Instead of buying lots of bottles of cleaning supplies, you can always refill the same container.
Did you know that lettuce is better when it doesn’t come wrapped in plastic?
Razors, what a pain!
Plastic razors are used for a short amount of time. If your dad uses a traditional razor instead, he’ll help protect the environment.
