About this audiobook
Plastics draw on dwindling fossil fuels, leach harmful chemicals, litter landscapes, and destroy marine life, and, as journalist Susan Freinkel points out, the planet is nearing a crisis point. Here, Freinkel combs through scientific studies and economic data, reporting from China and across the United States to assess the real impact of plastic on everyday life.
