Definitely do that :) I just had the other two count because I subtracted my vote. I'd love to have a discussion on all three.

Michaela | 187 comments Finally read the children´s book One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia and really liked it. A girl observes the immense use and waste of plastic bags and decides to do something against it when she´s grown up. Collecting the bags and crafting with them sets in motion a lot of positive work for her community. It shows that one single person can do so much for the environment and the people around her.
I also liked the illustrations that partly used photos of plastic bags, colourful papers and fabrics.
