Reduce Waste (Paperback)

People make almost 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) of waste every day. Recycling can help reduce waste and save resources. Each ton of paper recycled can save the equivalent of more than 185 gallons (700 liters) of gasoline. Knowledge about reducing waste is key to helping the environment. Kids are as concerned about the environment as adults, and Being Green can help kids do their part to help. The Being Green series makes learning how to go green simple. Each title in this series features fun ways for kids to help the environment, as well as explanations of the basic science behind each concept. Being Green will empower kids by showing them how an individual can make a difference in the world.
