Why should I recycle?

This is an informative guide to the 'hows' and 'whys' of recycling.

Written in a conversational style, this book offers children an approachable source of information on key subjects such as what materials can and cannot be recycled and why, how to make a compost heap and why it is good to recycle.

It is filled with advice and tips on how children can make small changes to make their lives greener, including lending and borrowing each other's possessions and how to re-use old things.

It also includes a glossary of terms as well as a list of the international recycling symbols and what they mean.
