Summary:
"Two ecological entrepreneurs examine the materials we use in our daily lives, show how they impact the environment, and provide project ideas--from
recycling
to upcycling and more--to lessen our impact and protect our world. With approximately twenty DIY projects, this engaging volume shows us how we all can cut down, reuse, and repurpose the garbage we produce. Information, little known facts and compelling graphics on a variety of common household waste-stream materials: Plastics, Glass and Ceramics, Paper, Wood, Textiles, Metal, Rubber, and Organics. Tom Szaky explains what he's learned about each one. He and Albe Zakes then provide an historical timeline of each material's use in commercial goods--from how it's manufactured to what happens when it's throw out--an analysis of its impact on the environment now and tomorrow; suggestions for DIY projects to save it from the trash bin, and lists of helpful resources. They also include sidebars and definitions, fun and quirky facts, lists of reuse ideas, quotes and interviews"--Provided by publisher.
