No votes have been submitted yet.

One Plastic Bag is about a child in Gambia, West Africa, who sees plastic bags piling up on the side of the road. Students will listen to the story and then create their own sustainable, reusable item from a plastic bag. Each student needs access to plastic bags, scissors, and other supplies that can help them with their creation! This is a great way to allow students to express their creativity as they learn about sustainability and reusing everyday items.
