  • Global Waste

    Cara Acred

    (Independence Educational Publishers, May 7, 2013)
    When we no longer need or want something, we throw it away. It becomes waste, or rubbish. But, what happens when we do throw something away? Where does it go? Is it recycled? Will it decompose naturally? Unfortunately, most of our waste is simply sent to a landfill, or incinerated – both of which have serious environmental consequences. There are, however, alternative methods of waste disposal, as well as steps that can be taken to prevent waste production. This book explores the issues surrounding waste, from both UK and global perspectives. The information inside comes from a variety of sources, including newspapers, magazines, government reports and charity groups; providing different perspectives on challenging topics. At the end of the book is a selection of activities that will encourage interaction, literacy, critical thinking and independent research. Content is accessible and engaging, tailored primarily towards the 14 to 18 age group.
  • Cannabis

    Cara Acred

    eBook (Independence Educational Publishers, Jan. 7, 2014)
    Approximately half of all 16- to 29-year-olds have tried cannabis at least once, but it’s not just young people dabbling with the drug; 20 million adults also admit to using cannabis in the last year. With some campaigners arguing that cannabis should be legalised for medical and recreational purposes, and others maintaining that it should remain firmly illegal, what are the facts? This book explores the facts about cannabis use, looking at the potential side effects and medical benefits, as well as the varying opinions about its legal status.
