One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia
Miranda Paul
This picture-book account follows Isatou Ceesay as discarded plastic bags accumulate in her Gambian community. The bags are convenient at first, but broken ones are left behind, creating litter that livestock may eat. As Isatou grows older, watching her sister crochet gives her an idea: women wash, cut, and crochet used plastic into purses. Their work reduces the litter problem and creates an economic opportunity in the community.
