Make Garbage Great: The Terracycle Family Guide to a Zero-Waste Lifestyle

This book is an approachable and engaging treatise on waste and value in the modern world, offering a visually-stimulating, action-oriented spin on the timeworn mantra: reduce, reuse, recycle. Jam-packed with information, project ideas, and 225 full-color photographs and illustrations, this graphic sustainability guidebook will help you reduce environmental impact while also saving you money and getting your creative juices flowing. The authors follow a variety of common household waste materials—Plastics, Glass and Ceramics, Paper, Wood, Metal, and Organics, to name a few—and trace them from production to consumption to trash bin. For each product, they also include a list of suggestions for DIY crafts to extend the life cycle of your consumables, rather than condemn them to the landfill. An informative, inspirational, do-able framework for transforming your relationship to trash.
