Join Heidi the Piedy, Roy the Boy and Fran his Nan as they travel from their favourite beach to New York City, to talk to the world’s nations about plastic pollution. Sometimes, the smallest voice can have the strongest message. Use less plastic, every day. “Be the Change.” Start today. The ocean should be clean and Blue. But who’s it up to? Me and YOU!
