What A Waste: Rubbish, Recycling and Protecting Our Planet

The tiniest everyday changes can make all the difference to ensure our beautiful planet stays lush and teeming with life.

In this informative and lively book, children will find everything they need to know about our environment—the good, the bad, and the incredibly innovative. From understanding the dangers of pollution and litter to exploring the possibilities of renewable energy and plastic recycling, this guide teaches budding ecologists how our actions affect Earth and the massive impact of the small things we do.

Did you know that every single plastic toothbrush ever made still exists? Or that there is a floating mass of rubbish larger than the USA drifting in the Pacific Ocean? While What a Waste explains where we are going wrong, it also celebrates what we are getting right. Discover global green projects, plans to save our seas, and creative ways to turn waste into something useful. Packed with fabulous illustrations and bite-sized facts, this book is designed for kids to explore in short bursts or longer, detailed reads, making it perfect for a wide range of age groups.
