Plastic a Toxic Love Story

Plastics draw on dwindling fossil fuels, leach harmful chemicals, litter landscapes and destroy marine life. And we've produced nearly as much in the past decade as we did in the entire twentieth century. With a blend of anecdotes and analysis, Susan Freinkel points the way to a new partnership with the material we can't seem to live without.

  • ""El plástico ha construido nuestro mundo moderno, hasta el punto de que es dificil imaginar nuestra vida sin objetos como el peine, el cepillo de dientes, la bolsa de la compra, el encendedor, los tubos intravenosos o la tarjeta de crédito. Sin embargo, no todo es de color de rosa en este idilio entre los seres humanos y un producto creado hace más de un siglo. Susan Freinkel explica cómo surgió el plástico y cómo se desarrollaron sus casi infinitas variedades, pero también describe las consecuencias de su consumo masivo: la acumulación en los vertederos, la absorción de sustancias perjudiciales para la salud, la contaminación y la destrucción del medio ambiente." --p.[4] of cover."

  • "Plastic built the modern world. Where would we be without bike helmets, toothbrushes, babies bottles and pacemakers? But a century into our love affair with plastic, we're starting to realise it's not such a healthy relationship. Plastics draw on dwindling fossil fuels, leach harmful chemicals, litter landscapes, and destroy marine life. As journalist Susan Freinkel points out in this engaging and eye-opening book, we're nearing a crisis point. We've produced as much plastic in the past decade as we did in the entire twentieth century. We're drowning in the stuff, and we need to start making some hard choices."
