Trash Revolution: Breaking the Waste Cycle

This book follows the life cycle of everyday materials: they are gathered, made into products, distributed, used, and then discarded or recycled. Using items found in a child’s school backpack, including food, clothing, paper, plastic, metals, and electronics, it examines these stages in detail. Diagrams and charts explain the waste cycle alongside facts, future goals, and suggestions for reducing, reusing, or recycling waste. A glossary and colored pen-and-ink illustrations are included.
