A new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) comic has been released to raise awareness of chemicals and waste.

Keepers of the Land: The Curious Case of the Contaminated River is targeted at young adults and looks at the serious issue of waste and chemical mismanagement.

The issues of waste and chemical mismanagement are often highly technical and difficult for a non-technical audience to understand. The comic book breaks the issues down into a language that is easily accessible to anyone.

The comic can be downloaded, read and shared here.
