Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Find out how to live more sustainably, manage waste better, and create an eco-home!

Garbage tells us a lot about how humans have lived in the past, how we're living now, and the impact our waste disposal has on the environment. To create a more sustainable future, it's important that little eco-warriors know about the different types of waste and how to create less garbage!

DKfindout! Garbage is a fun, trivia, and activity-filled book that teaches young children between 5 and 9 years old about the problems the planet is experiencing with waste. Published to engaged young activists keen to make a difference, this waste management book:

- Covers topics such as "Electronic waste", "Food we waste the most", and "Recycling ideas for kids" with a clear visual approach
- Includes a glossary to help explain new or tricky terms
- Contains flaps at the beginning and end that provide extra core references and a quiz to draw children into the content of the book
- Features dynamic, highly visual presented topics including a spread about art made from garbage
- Checked by specialist consultants and an educational expert to make sure the information is trustworthy and age-appropriate

Teach children how important it is to throw out your trash and recycle

Thought-provoking and timely, DKfindout! Garbage educates and challenges young readers to ask questions about how garbage is created, disposed of, the biggest contributors to excess waste such as fast fashion, plastic, and electronics - and how they can counter the effects of these culprits.

An important yet colorful sustainability book for kids, this title teaches children how to produce less waste and how to manage waste better! They'll learn about recycling, upcycling (even creating art from garbage!), how to stop wasting food, and why plastic is a problem.
