Despite it being a mandatory practice in many communities, recycling can be confusing. What materials are recyclable? What happens to the materials once they leave our blue recycling bins? Is it really worth the time and effort?
Recycle: The Essential Guide is an indispensable handbook to recycling today. In clear, simple language and helpful visual aids, the book tackles everything you’ll ever need to know about recycling, from the urgency of resource depletion on a global scale to what individuals can do to reduce waste in their own home.
The book is a handbook for those who want to learn more about waste and how to reduce their carbon footprint.
To that end, ecomii will be giving away a gently used copy of Recycle to a lucky reader. Just leave a comment here on ways you have reduced waste in your household. The winner will be chosen at random on Friday, April 22.
But actually, everyone can come out a winner. Ecomii readers in the US and the UK can order Recycle for 40% off by emailing jess@blackdogonline.com with their delivery address. Jessica will process the order and get back to you.
Good luck and happy recycling!
