This book changed the way we view everything!
Let’s talk kids and plastic. We know that plastic is problematic, kids want to help but often not sure where to start. Where can they have an impact?
Ariene Szu-Tu, editor of National Geographic Kids vs Plastic, is showing us how we can shift things around – to empower our children, make them accountable and in charge – change starts with the kids.
Her book has so much easy-to-digest information about what the kids can do and a lot of tips for our daily lives. Very informative for kids as well as for adults!
And, the good news is that you can shift things around! Even micro changes in your home towards saving the environment are important and the kids love being a part of it.
The big question here is what plastic could you let go of? Try to ask the kids…Is it balloons? Nooo might be the answer. A plastic bag? Maybe… Explore what small things could be done at home to effect change “together”.
Dive into the full inspirational conversation with Ariene to learn more about the topic so significant for everyone on our planet.

Editor Ariane is an editor specializing in fun nonfiction for kids ages 8-12. Some previous books include History’s Mysteries, This Book Stinks, the Weird But True Know-It-All series, and 100 Ways to Make the World Better. She’s currently working on—and super stoked about—a book all about spies and espionage and other secrets from history called Top Secret! and another book about swashbuckling female pirates. She loves learning surprising new facts and stats, particularly about animals. Her favorite fact of the moment is about how pygmy chameleons find their mates on the forest floors of Madagascar. Another obsession of the moment is hummingbirds. She hopes to one day convince her team to let her do a book called How Not to Be Boring at Dinner Parties, a collection of all the surprising facts she’s learned on the job.
