This is a beautifully illustrated book which aims to help children under 7 years understand where plastic comes from, why it doesn\u2019t biodegrade, and why that is dangerous for animals and people. The book explains these concerns in child-friendly language, accompanied by plenty of ideas on how we can make a difference and keep Planet Earth happy \u2013 such as not using plastic straws.<\/p><p>All Tops nurseries promote sustainability within their settings, from banning glitter to participating in beach clean ups; their hope is that by educating the children of today, they will in turn be influential to the way future generations live.<\/p><blockquote><p>You can read more about Tops environmental stances at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topsdaynurseries.co.uk\/about-tops\/caring-for-our-planet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.topsdaynurseries.co.uk\/about-tops\/caring-for-our-planet\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4663,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4659"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13760,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4659\/revisions\/13760"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gecco.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
