Yes, Plastic Pollution is an overwhelming global issue. Yes plastic is harmful. Yes I know about it. Yes I feel sad for it. But what can I do alone? Can I? Is there anything simple I can do? YES!!! This is what this book is all about. A simple easy solution. To be precise, a little change in our habits. But this little change in our habit can make a BIG difference! Do you want to know about it? Then grab the book today. Sneak peak into the storyLittle Ollie loves two things the most: food and animal. A short outing with her cousin Tanya, left Ollie shocked to see what harm she is causing, unknowingly, to the animals she loves so much. But Tanya introduced her to a magical bag, that can solve the problem. Do you too want to know about it?From the author People are increasingly aware that single-use plastic products are harmful and yet keep using them without a second thought. They don't care about what harm it causes or they don't have the time to think about it. As plastic is available, affordable and convenient to use, they keep using them. Nevertheless, the same adults care for their kids. They want to leave a better world for their children. Both these observations gave me the idea to write a children's storybook with a message. It is about the harm plastic causes, our role in this and what can we do to stop it. I have tried to intertwine the message with an emotional story and illustrated it with all my heart; I hope kids pick it up and ask the adults to read it to them and in the process, both (kids & adults) get the message and implement it in their life, I also hope the young adults read it and share it with the adults. 'A simple change in our habits can make a big difference.' I hope the message in this book reaches as far as possible, people get involved and do their part to save the planet

As the world looks for solutions to address climate change amid growing concerns regarding negative environmental impacts caused by human habits, the problem of plastics is gaining momentum. There is a sober awareness that pollution caused by plastics needs a more aggressive approach while designing policies to prevent future plastic dependency and mismanagement. Nevertheless, plastics are here to stay as they provide some important functions for today's societal needs. Therefore, plastic substitutes are not a solution to be implemented overnight without a carefully designed and informed set of policies, as well as a system that would incentivize such substitution and prevent any further potential harm to the environment and human health. For plastic substitutes to become a viable solution in the mid and long-term, decisive global action is needed today. Moving away from silo policies and towards coherence and coordination between measures to address plastic pollution across the plastic life cycle and in favor of circular economies is an important initial step.
