They discuss one of the main questions a lot of people have are do they bury the trash or do they burn it? The answer to this question is both if they cannot bury it they burn it. This depends all on the material that is being thrown away. A lot more people reuse and recycle throughout the world. “About 75% of the garbage produced could be reused or recycled”. This book introduced how and by what item we recycle. You have separate bins labeled for metals, glass, paper, old clothes, plant waste and plastics. Recycling needs energy to make all the machines work throughout the recycling process. Garbage can be used to produce heat energy and fuel. It talks about the different ways to reuse and reduce your garbage. Showing children how to recycle sets a good example and will help them recycle at home. Connected to the Curriculum:  I can use this book in the classroom by introducing facts and important words.
