Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

La inspiradora historia real de cómo una mujer africana inició un movimiento para reciclar las bolsas de plástico que contaminaban su comunidad.

Las bolsas de plástico son baratas y fáciles de usar. Pero, ¿qué sucede cuando una bolsa se rompe o ya no se necesita? En Njau, Gambia, la gente simplemente dejó caer las maletas y siguió su camino. Una bolsa de plástico se convirtió en dos. Entonces diez. Luego cien. Las bolsas se acumularon en horribles montones junto a las carreteras. El agua se acumulaba en ellos, trayendo mosquitos y enfermedades. Algunas bolsas fueron quemadas, dejando un olor terrible. Algunos fueron enterrados, pero estrangularon jardines. Mataron al ganado que trató de comérselos. Algo tenía que cambiar. Isatou Ceesay fue ese cambio. Encontró una manera de reciclar las bolsas y transformar su comunidad.

Esta inspiradora historia real muestra cómo las acciones de una persona realmente pueden marcar la diferencia en nuestro mundo.
