2021: #AFA Comic about microplastics

Are comics a good way to convey knowledge? Absolutely! The EIT Food #AnnualFoodAgenda project once again used this form of education – a comic book about microplastics was created. Dr. Linda meets children at the beach and then takes them on an interesting journey to explain how prevalent microplastics are in human life.

This comic is part of the free and accessible resources developed as part of the EIT Food #AnnualFoodAgenda project. We especially encourage teachers of English or Spanish, as well as teachers who teach students about environmental issues or about food and nutrition, to use it.
