Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

All over the world, people are joining the low-waste movement and getting tough on their trash.

Maybe you've heard the reports of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch swirling in the ocean. Maybe you've seen the photos of whales and sea birds with trash in their bellies. Or maybe you've heard that only 9 percent of our plastic waste actually gets recycled.

We can all do our part for the planet by creating less garbage. In Less Is Moreyoung readers will discover how to avoid waste in the first place, reduce how much they use and reuse what they can, before they recycle and rot (compost) the rest. With small, simple actions we can become part of the circular economy. Find out how you can join the low-waste movement--and get your friends and family on board too!

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

Includes bibliographical references (page 44) and index.
