Time and again, we think that our smallest actions don't matter. "But everyone else is doing it anyway" always serves as a logical explanation to refute facts we read in chunky science textbooks. Which is why when we come across a tiny book that says otherwise, we are astounded by the power of tidbits of information.

The title is called F**k Plastic (Hachette UK). The agenda is set, outlining "101 ways to free yourself from plastic and save the world". The first thing we wonder about is whether this book itself is environmentally-friendly. And a note from the publisher assures us. "The binding material is 100 per cent recyclable and biodegradable. Both the text paper and binding material is manufactured to the ISO 14001 international standard, minimising negative impacts on the environment," they say.
