Plastic: A Toxic Love Story

This book opened my mind as a middle schooler, It's how I learned about the bottle bill, and the history of how plastic came to be so popular. I was fascinated diving into the niche aspects of it, like learning all about combs and chairs and how plastic made consumerism what it is today. It turned normal mundane plastic things that hardly anyone thinks about into items with fascinating histories and backstories that shed light on the implications of plastic for our society. Overall, a great read (and, it doesn't need to be read cover to cover. You can pick and choose sections that interest you). Highly recommend. —Maya Y in Falmouth, ME
