Publisher's Note The world seems to be full of waste. There are garbage bags everywhere: in offices, schools, and homes. Vast areas of land are covered with piles of garbage. Waste gases and chemicals pour out of vehicle exhausts and industrial chimneys. Liquid waste from factories stream out of pipes into rivers, lakes, and seas. How do we dispose of this waste safely and quickly, and how do we recycle and re-use the products that can be used again? This book talks in large scale, but also addresses issues that young readers can effect in their own environment: home, school, play group.
