ONE PLASTIC BAGISATOU CEESAY AND THE RECYCLING WOMEN OF THE GAMBIA

HC: 978-1-4677-1608-6 $19.99 eBooks also available

Ages 5-9 RL: Grade 2 IL: Grades K-3 32 Pages

Plastic bags are cheap and easy to use. But what happens when a bag breaks or is no longer needed? In Njau, Gambia, people simply dropped the bags and went on their way. The bags accumulated in ugly heaps alongside roads. Water pooled in them, bringing mosquitoes and disease. Some bags were burned, leaving behind a terrible smell. Some were buried, but they strangled gardens. Something had to change.

Isatou Ceesay was that change. She found a way to recycle the bags and transform her community.
