In the streets and coastal communities of Sénégal, one man has turned trash into a symbol of hope. L'Homme Plastique tells the true story of Modou Fall, known as "The Plastic Man." As plastic pollution spreads through neighborhoods, beaches, and waterways, Modou makes a bold choice: he covers himself in plastic waste to draw attention to the problem. This book follows his journey from childhood to becoming a voice for environmental change. Through school visits, public actions, and community work, he encourages people to rethink their use of plastic and take action. Set in Senegal, the story highlights environmental challenges in West Africa while showing how one person can make a difference.
