Seamai the Seal

Seamai wakes up one morning and finds himself surrounded by plastic bags that are swimming in the sea and floating in the air. With the help of his magic binoculars he finds out where these bags come from and how people can re-use and recycle their bags to avoid “all that plaschtic being wasted”
