ABOUT THIS BOOK

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The dynamic author team of Ann Love and Jane Drake offers readers innovative ways to rethink their relationship with nature and reduce their ecological footprints. Ever aware of our impact on the environment, the authors suggest ways to reduce waste, eliminate over-consumption, and see garbage in the bigger picture.

This exploration of a timely topic introduces three characters — Rolly, Can-it, and Bright Bulb — whose quirky personalities and playful interaction both inform and entertain. Learn the connection between your lifestyle, your garbage, and your planet, and how your choices make a difference.

Mark Thurman’s exuberant illustrations, along with photographs from the authors’ own collections and a helpful glossary and index, make this a must-have and a call-to-action for anyone who cares about the earth.
