Synopsis

This title is suitable for ages 9 to 12 years. Teaching children that the battle against the world's overwhelming waste problem begins with them, this plethora of projects investigates the science of garbology . The guide highlights the choices people make in creating garbage in the first place, suggesting ways children can reduce, reuse, and recycle as well as rethink their actions for the future. Along the way, hands-on activities encourage children to make even more discoveries. Kitchen lovers can whip up a delicious edible landfill, brew natural dyes for a T-shirt, and grow a windowsill garden to make herbal shampoo. Learning the ins and outs of biodegradation, children can snag air pollution in a can or even compare the effects of commercial and home-made cleaners. From reusing jeans and plastic milk jugs to making use of the odds and ends in the junk drawer, this challenging collection of activities ensures each kid can become a rubbish warrior .
