Follow that garbage truck…to the landfill to see how trash keeps piling up…to the incinerator to see how trash can be turned into energy…to the recycling center to see how a soda bottle can be turned into a flowerpot. This classic Level 2 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out picture book is a fascinating exploration of what happens to our trash.  
 
Now rebranded with a new look, this picture book is filled with fun graphs, charts, and diagrams to explain how we deal with the problem of too much trash and provides ideas for easy ways kids can be part of the solution. Activities throughout the book empower kids to help the environment, whether it’s separating trash from the recycling or using a lunch box instead of a brown paper bag. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Robin Woods, formerly of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and Dr. William Rathje, founder of the Garbage Project and professor emeritus at the University of Arizona.
