Inspired by internationally acclaimed environmental activist, humanitarian, and adventurer Rob Greenfield,Zero Waste Kids fun and easy illustratedprojects and activities that will help your familyreduce, reuse, and recycle at home, at school, and in yourcommunity. While most kids probably aren't goingto grow all their own food for a year likeRob has, Zero Waste Kids features fun and practical projects for growing some of your own food, with advice and encouragement for why doing so is important. And, instead of wearing all their trash for a week like Rob did, withZero Waste Kids, they'll learn how to audit their trash, to really understand how much waste they're personally contributing to the earth's landfills. Zero Waste Kidshelps children to understand the world they live in and inspire them to start living in a more sustainable way. Of all the environmental problems we face, ';trash' is one that is easiest to understand because it is very visual, whereas many other problems are more abstract. Zero-waste isn't thesolution to the world's problems, but a very good place to start. Zero-Waste projectsinclude: Conduct a household trash audit to discover who throws away what and why. Swap disposable shopping bags and lunch boxes for reusable, zero-waste options. Compost your food scraps and grow your own food. Make natural-dye play dough, leaf prints, and more. Zero Waste Kids is every kid's go-to guide for making a difference. This book is printed on FSC-certified paper using soy inks.
