Plasticus maritimus

Supremely written, brilliantly documented, with clear and accessible information. (…) Stirring, inspiring and, unfortunately, absolutely necessary, this is a book which deserves a place on all bookshelves.
Ricochet Jeunes, June 2020

One of the great books [of 2018] was “Plasticus maritimus” (…), which should be a bedside table book for readers of any age — from the plastic floating on the sea to the scientific rigour, as well as the flawless aesthetic, upon confronting this issue you can be sure that we won’t have a future if we carry on ignoring this problem.
Sara Figueiredo Costa, Expresso, 22/12/2108

An unforgettable book.

Ana Pêgo claims that “we don’t need to make a radical change in order to begin the process of “deplastifying” (…) This is indeed the whole spirit (and merit) of the book: making concrete suggestions, uncomplicating what is complicated and turning one of the biggest problems and challenges for our planet accessible to an eight year old.
Ana Dias Ferreira, Observador, 28/11/2018

The brilliance of “Plasticus Maritimus” lies in its ability to sensitise children without infantilising them. Quite the contrary to what many might think, our children are capable of understanding the most complex of matters without us needing to strip back our language or intellectual stimulation.
