Getting Rid of Waste

Food scraps, plastic containers, glass bottles, and metal cans–people produce an enormous amount of waste every year. Where does all this waste come from? Where does it end up? Getting Rid of Waste answers these questions and many more–everything from the landfill problem to dealing with plastic pollution and toxic waste. This book also explains how we can all reduce the amount of trash we produce. All we need to do is to follow the four Rs Reduce, Repair, Reuse, and Recycle.
