Description

Learn about the problem of single-use plastic—and what to do about it. On his birthday, Nick challenges his friends to spend the day without using any single-use plastic. This means they bring their own cloth bags, say no thanks to plastic straws, and decorate with paper streamers instead of balloons. Most importantly, the five friends learn to say NO to plastic! The seventh title in a series, this book will prime readers for a No-Plastic Challenge of their own!
