Plasticville -- Improving on nature -- A throne for the common man -- Flitting through Plasticville -- "Humans are just a little bit plastic now" -- Matter out of place -- Battle of the bag -- Closing the loop -- The meaning of green -- A bridge.
In this probing look at how plastic built the modern world-- and the price the world has paid for plastic-- journalist Freinkel points out that we're nearing a crisis point and gives readers the tools needed through lively anecdotes and analysis.
Trekking through history, science, and the global economy, Freinkel assesses the impact of plastic on our lives through eight familiar plastic objects: comb, chair, Frisbee, IV bag, disposable lighter, grocery bag, soda bottle, and credit card.
