This Book Stinks!: Gross Garbage, Rotten Rubbish and the Science of Trash
(ages 8-12, Paperback, 192 pgs, $19.99)
From e-waste, to waste in space, to innovative trash technology, This Book Stinks! cleverly reveals the smelly — and fascinating — scoop behind what happens to the 4 MILLION TONS OF TRASH the world generates each day and what we can do to un-stink our planet.
Readers can go "beyond the bin" and learn the cool science behind landfills, why it’s so much better to toss a banana peel than a glass bottle and why being a trash collector can be a risky business. Rather than being all “doom and gloom” about the subject, This Book Stinks! inspires young eco-warriors kids to take action by including tips and ideas about what they can do to make a difference at home, in their neighborhood and in their community.
From the ins and outs of recycling, to the nitty-gritty of landfills and dumps, to how creative people find new ideas to reuse rubbish, This Book Stinks! covers everything kids need to know about trash on land, in our oceans and even in outer space and how, by rethinking what we toss and how we toss it, we can save and protect our planet.
