Kids change the world one idea at a time with National Geographic Kids editor Ariane Szu-Tu

 

Maybe the fact that my now nearly 5-year-old has been picking up trash on beaches around the world since she could barely walk, makes this book and podcast stronger for me. I could never figure out where it came from. I pick up things here and there, but she would postpone playground time to clean the littering, especially by the sea. She just couldn’t leave it.

Talking with Ariane Szu-Tu about all the great, inspiring and innovative kids was a fantastic reminder of all that is possible with a bit of encouragement.

The visuals in Kids vs Plastic – Ditch the straw and find the pollution solution to bottles, bags, and other single-use plastics, are vivid and take your breath away.
