New “Susie’s Book Nook” YouTube Episode! One Plastic Bag

There is a new ‘Susie’s Book Nook’ children’s book review live on YouTube!

This week’s book reviewed by Susie is: One Plastic Bag – Isatou Ceesay and The Recycling Women of Gambia written by Miranda Paul and illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon.

“The one-use plastic bag…. what a nightmare! It can be hard to find places to recycle them, curbside is often a big NO NO, and after the pandemic, many places have discontinued their recycling programs for a variety of plastics. Time to research how to recycle or use these one-use bags in other ways.

While you may not be able to take up “crocheting with plastic threads” which have been created from plastic bags found as “trash”, somebody amazing figured it out for us all. In 1998 with a Peace corps volunteer and four other Gambian women, Isatou Ceesay began the Njau Recycling and Income Generating Group (NRIGG). The results of their efforts are told in this wonderful story.”
