Our very own Lynn McAllister has shared a thought-provoking awareness blog about environmental pollution and the ways we can prevent it. The main character of Lynn’s book, Pixie Van Dimple and the Wrong Kind of Artificial Intelligence, accompanied the author to a school on World Ocean Day to talk about plastic pollution. Polymer Pixie (made out of plastic) talked about different companies that are helping the environment by turning plastic waste into recycled plastic. Such companies include Prevented Ocean Plastic, Plogolution, and Seven Clean Seas. Pixie has also recommended listening to some informative podcasts and interviews of people working for raising awareness about environmental pollution. You can read more of this informative blog here.

Pixie Van Dimple and the Wrong Kind of Artificial Intelligence is the story of a 12-year-old Pixie Van Dimple. She is a girl with the interests of a typical 12-year-old, but the problem is she likes her phone more than anything. Will she keep herself safe from the dangers of cell phones?
