Garbage and Recycling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780737750829)

Editor Candice L. Mancini uses a series of thought-provoking essays to take readers across the globe, exploring international issues relating to garbage and recycling. Is E-waste dangerous in India? Is the Nile being ruined by pollution? Is Serbia doing enough to focus on their waste problems? Is Bangladesh's capital swimming in waste? How is China turning trash into art? Readers will explore these questions. They will learn whether Mexico City is running out of places to dump waste and whether the U.S. has a serious issue with plastic bags. Other cultures explored include Canada, Japan, Australia, Spain, the Philippines, and Sweden. One final treat for readers is they'll explore garbage and recycling in space.
