"Hannah is the perfect example of the younger generation in the age of plastic and climate chaos taking up the challenge of creating for herself and her society a better future no matter what the obstacles. This book will give courage to her peers and serve notice to her elders to get on board, or get out of the way."--Captain Charles Moore (Oceanographer who discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch)

"Hannah Testa has been inspiring people in her community and across the world since she was ten years old. Working with her state representative to create the first Plastic Pollution Awareness Day in the state of Georgia, she launched a program which is expanding into other states and beyond. Her book shines a spotlight on the urgent single-use plastic pollution crisis facing our planet and outlines simple steps each of us can take as we work to reduce our plastic footprint and to live plastic free." --Dianna Cohen (Cofounder and CEO, Plastic Pollution Coalition)
