Abstract

The ocean is crying out. Plastic man, what can we do for the ocean?
I’m Plastic Man, made from plastic that pollutes the ocean. In the ocean, creatures get tangled in garbage, and fish and coral suffer from eating microplastics. Eventually the coral dies and the fish escape to more habitable places.
"I'm causing trouble to the ocean," He thought, trembling with sadness, and his overflowing tears turned into a fairy. He joined forces with the tear fairy and began to act to save the ocean. His courage and efforts were conveyed to people all over the world...
This is a picture book based on the 14th SDGs goal, protecting the abundance of the ocean.
