The inspiring true story of how one African woman began a movement to recycle the plastic bags that were polluting her community.Plastic bags are cheap and easy to use.

But what happens when a bag breaks or is no longer needed?

In Njau, Gambia, people simply dropped the bags and went on their way.

One plastic bag became two. Then ten. Then a hundred.The bags accumulated in ugly heaps alongside roads.

Water pooled in them, bringing mosquitoes and disease.

Some bags were burned, leaving behind a terrible smell.

Some were buried, but they strangled gardens. They killed livestock that tried to eat them. Something had to change.Isatou Ceesay was that change.

She found a way to recycle the bags and transform her community.

This inspirational true story, now available in Spanish, shows how one person's actions really can make a difference in our world.
