From Booklist
This slim book does a particularly nice job of explaining the issues surrounding waste and recycling in a way readers can understand and respond to. The title begins by giving information about our wasteful world (today we produce three times as much waste as we did in the 1960s) and where all our garbage goes. It then breaks down the ways materials can be recycled and how recycling each particular material—glass, aluminum, plastic, paper—can help the environment. There are also short sidebars that suggest ways in which children can repurpose some of these items on their own. Part of the Eco Alert! series, the book is colorful and clearly written, and it offers a few charts and sidebars to add interest. It also touches on special commonly thrown-away items like electronics that must be specially recycled. This could be a depressing subject, but the book handles it in a way that it is more about getting involved than getting bummed out. Grades 3-6, --Ilene Cooper
