All around the world, plastic bags have caused serious problems.  After decades of use, the plastic bags have accumulated in massive quantities in landfills, never decomposing.  Some cultures do not have landfills and garbage is dropped and left wherever.  In Gambia, Africa, the piles of bags grew and grew, smelled bad, and was killing the goats the people used for food.  Isatou Ceesay and other village women decided to solve their serious garbage problem by crocheting the plastic bags into purses which were then taken to the city to sell at market.  The purses were popular and earned the ladies money.  They cleaned up their environment, saved the goats, and earned money to use for their families.  The lady with the vision, Isatou Ceesay, became quite involved with worldwide agencies empowering women, and found ways to build a skills center for her village to provide better learning for people, animals and the environment.  This book is a fine example of it just takes one person to start something.  Its an inspiring story of these women’s courage and tenacity to fix a problem.
