What a Waste: Trash, Recycling, and Protecting Our Planet" is a nonfiction book that informs children about recycling. On the front cover of the book it says "I'm made with responsibly sourced materials and soy inks!" I think that is awesome that this book was even made from responsibly sourced materials because it shows just how recycling can protect our planet. I love that this book teaches children that doing little things such as recycling can make a big difference in the world. Students can also learn all about different kinds of waste and how it affects the environment. I love how this books teaches the readers what to do about this environmental issue and how we are the one's that can make this change to protect Earth. Many children would also love the illustrations in this book as well! I think it would be really cool to have each student focus on a different section of the book and create their own graphic, each student could share their section with the class so that most topics got shared with the whole group! I think another activity students could do is after reading this book they could write a paragraph about what they learned about waste and how they can make a difference! What A Waste is a brilliant book for children who are keen to learn and want to make a difference. Reading it should be a part of the curriculum! The illustrations in the book are colorful and vibrant, bringing the characters and setting to life. The detailed illustrations capture the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants, as well as the negative impact of waste on their environment. This educational book will teach young budding ecologists about how our actions affect planet Earth and the big impact we can make by the little things we do.

От енциклопедии и пътеводители до всевъзможни картинни справочници, DK са истински специалисти в качествения синтез, оформление и представяне на фактите. Вниманието към детайлите е поразително дори когато изданията са посветени на фантастични или забавни теми като комикс герои, научна фантастика или LEGO, та какво остава за случаите, в които авторите са решили да разнищят някоя наистина важна и наболяла тема каквато е световното замърсяване и съдбата на тоновете отпадъци, които човечеството неуморно и неизменно генерира всеки ден. Точно такава книга е „Къде отива боклукът? Отпадъци, рециклиране и грижа за нашата планета” на Джес Френч, която за наша огромна радост излезе и на български като част от каталога на изд. „Ракета”. Това не е нито просто детска книга, нито пък строго семейно четиво. „Къде отива боклукът?” ще отвори очите на много читатели от всички възрасти по редица важни теми, засягащи всички нас и бъдещето на света, в който живеем. И за да докажат, че застават зад всяка дума, написана вътре, издателите дори са се погрижили книгата да бъде направена от устойчиво добити материали и растителни масла! Прочетете ревюто на „Книжни Криле”: My eldest daughter is 5 and a half years old (that half is very important at this age!) and is aware that our family is trying to be eco-friendly and that we are reducing our waste and plastic consumption. Many things are completely normal to her as they have been part of our family’s life for quite some time now — cloth nappies, cloth sanitary products, stainless steel drinking bottles, reusable food storage instead of clingfilm, reusable wipes etc. The spread below is her favourite and she loved spotting the swaps we’ve already made.

Geijsbeek. p. 137. waste book+bookkeeping. I found this book a bit overwhelming and depressing-but that is where we are as a planet. Humans have trashed it.

An engaging and informative book that highlights the reality of the problem with rubbish. We can clean up now or face the prospect of renaming Earth. If we don’t change our ways we may well be saying welcome to ‘Garbage Planet’ in 2050. Original 3-line summary: In this book, the author explains our planet's problem with waste.
