Trash is not something we often talk about with kids, but it’s a conversation that’s necessary all over the world. This book is a great way to start! As countries worldwide are facing growing challenges due to overwhelmed waste systems, the impact of pollution becomes harder to ignore. What we throw away doesn’t simply disappear, and the consequences affect people, places and ecosystems globally.

This book offers a kid-friendly introduction to understanding trash and waste management and how each child has the power to change their environment. It demonstrates creative ideas for how to reduce and reuse items we usually throw away, and helps children grasp how much waste we produce and where it often ends up. Most importantly, it empowers young readers to see that they can be part of the solution.
