Plastic City
Plastic City is a graphic novel created to call attention to the danger of using plastic products and encourage people to use eco-friendly commodities. The book revolves around two main characters, a polyplastic bag and a plastic bottle personified as characters: Poly and Plas. They are represented as negative characters to trigger adverse associations toward plastic products. Plas with the help of Poly tries to force all residents out of the city by polluting streets with plastic waste. The story presents recycling as a solution to the plastic waste problem by incorporating another character called Rec who is a recycling bin. Nevertheless, Plas and Poly win the fight against Rec because more new plastic is being transported by UPS delivery trucks to the city every day than is being recycled. Fortunately, two heroes, an eco-friendly bottle and a bag collectively called the Ecos, come to New York to save it from Poly and Plas. The Ecos fight with plastic and substitute reusables for all of the disposables used in the city. Then the recycling bin Rec becomes strong enough to compete with Poly and Plas and as a result, returns the city to New Yorkers.

poly, look! finally, all
the locals are running
away from the city and
as long as we are here
they are not coming
back. Plastic city is only
for poly and plas.
dear humans,
No trespassing!
moving upstate
was the only
option for us to
escape that plastic
madness. we had to
run away from
poly and plas.
this place is not
great either but at
least here we
shouldn‘t worry
about being
buried under a pile
of plastic.
i‘m getting out
of this city. it‘s
trashed. there‘s
so much plastic
on the streets.
i can‘t live like
this. i‘m out.
i‘m not sure how
long i can live
upstate but i
certainly know i
can‘t go back to
plastic city.
we have to live
upstate for as
long as poly
and plas are in
the city.
