You probably know that you're supposed to recycle, but you might not know how or why . This adaptation of the bestselling adult book, written by an attorney and sustainability expert, will answer all your recycling questions. Can I Recycle This? eschews the preachiness and common platitudes common in books about environmentalism, instead cutting straight to the real information kids need. 

It takes readers through every step of the recycling process, from when they toss an item into the bin, to its journey through the recycling machinery, and its path to its new life. It gives kids the answers and resources they need to be far better informed than their parents, many of whom were raised on the un-nuanced and often inaccurate mantra of "recycling solves everything."

It shows how the concepts of sorting that children already know and practice can be applied to waste. And it empowers even elementary school–aged kids to make smarter decisions about consumption and disposal, using ideas and examples that they can understand. Adapted from the adult nonfiction book of the same title, Can I Recycle This ? is a fun, educational book to teach younger readers how and why to recycle, and to introduce them to the responsibility we all have to protect the environment.
