BEYOND THE BIN
The Livewire Guide to Reusing and Recycling
Jo Budd
Before you throw your next carton of juice away, just think where it will go - more than likely to a landfill site where it may never rot away.
In Beyond the Bin, environmentalist Jo Budd shows you just how much waste you can avoid in your daily life by choosing low waste products, reusing and recycling - from taking a mug to your favourite coffee shop or school canteen to using solid shampoo, and even keeping a tiger-worm compost bin for kitchen scraps. She also explains how to convince your school and local community to become greener.
However, it's not just down to us. As Jo Budd reveals, with ideas such as ecological footprinting and clean producation, governments and the business community can really start to address the issue of waste, steeriung a course for a healthy future and a healthy planet.
