Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
You probably know that you're supposed to recycle--but you may not know how or why . This adaptation of the successful adult book, written by a lawyer and sustainability expert, will answer all your recycling questions.
Can I Recycle This? skips over preaching and platitudes common to books on environmentalism and instead gets right to the real information that kids need.
It takes readers through every step of the recycling process, from the moment that they throw an item in the bin to its journey through the recycling machinery and on its way to its new life. It gives kids the answers and resources they need to be far better informed than their parents, many of whom were raised on the un-nuanced and often inaccurate "recycling solves everything" mantra. It shows how sorting concepts that kids already know and practice can be applied to waste. And it empowers even early elementary school children to make smarter choices about consumption and disposal, using ideas and examples that they can understand.
Adapted from the adult nonfiction book of the same title, Can I Recycle This ? is a both fun and educational book to teach the littlest readers the hows and whys of recycling, and to introduce them to the responsibility that we all have to protect the environment.
A Junior Library Guild selection!

"When you throw something away, it might feel like it simply disappears, but actually, it's only just starting its journey. In this book, pollution expert Jennie Romer introduces all the smart machines and conveyor belts, cameras, and magnets that make recycling work. You'll discover not only why we recycle, but also how--and then how to do it better.
