Garbage: Investigate What Happens When You Throw It Out With 25 Projects

Paperback (Nomad Press Aug. 1, 2011)
Kids become “rubbish warriors” in Garbage: Investigate What Happens When You Throw It Out. Encouraged to think about the choices they make that generate garbage in the first place, readers learn ways to reduce, reuse, recycle—and rethink their actions. Along the way, kids explore the science of garbology, discover fascinating information archaeologists learn by excavating middens, and use projects to investigate the world of trash. Activities include whipping up a delicious edible landfill, brewing natural dyes for a T-shirt, and comparing the effects of commercial and homemade cleaners.

Kids will learn that the battle against the world’s overwhelming waste problem begins with them.
