Many children understand recycling at home or school, but these titles in the Putting the Planet First series (4 titles) emphasize sustainable living and its impact on the earth. Double-page spreads introduce concepts through colorful charts, graphs, and diagrams, while photographs spotlight a variety of global initiatives, including paperless schools in Scotland, wind farms in Denmark, and solar-powered clinics in Ghana. Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling Waste focuses on the worldwide garbage problem and ways to reduce or reuse plastic, paper, metal, glass, food scraps, and e-waste, such as shredding plastic into threads that can be turned into clothing. Each book concludes with a look to the future and new technologies that will improve the environment. This eye-opening STEM series not only tackles real-world problems but helps readers recognize their roles in protecting the planet.
