From conducting a household trash audit to composting food scraps and swapping single-use items for sustainable alternatives, this hands-on book helps kids understand where waste comes from and how they can make simple changes that matter. Along the way, they’ll learn why it’s important to grow some of their own food, how to create with natural materials, and how small actions add up to big impact.
