Original 3-line review: While informational, the pictures and bright colors throughout the book make it more intriguing for children. Overall, the vocabulary is appropriate for elementary age students. This book provides true information about the environment while also engaging a young child's attention, which is impressive. Did you know that every single plastic toothbrush ever made still exists? Or that there is a floating mass of rubbish larger than the USA drifting around the Pacific Ocean? I especially like the illustrations combined with real life photographs in the story because that gives students the chance to relate drawings with things that are happening in real life. This is full of information that we need to give to the younger generation about the environment to sustain earth. Some parts are scary however I think it is good that the book gives solutions to every problem that they mention. As long as humans have been around, there has been garbage. A history of garbage is given as well as the current problems, from large greasy clots in sewers to plastic islands. There is plenty of gross out science and lots of awareness of the problems we face. Along with the problem are innovative people who are finding solutions, like the person who started a restaurant making meals out of food that others had thrown out, or places where electronics can get repaired rather than tossed. There is also a further reading list and a good sized bibliography. Did you know that every single plastic toothbrush ever made still exists? Or that there is a floating mass of trash larger than the USA drifting around the Pacific Ocean?An engaging and informative book that highlights the reality of the problem with rubbish. We can clean up now or face the prospect of renaming Earth. If we don’t change our ways we may well be saying welcome to ‘Garbage Planet’ in 2050. What a Waste" is a beautifully illustrated children's book by Jess French that highlights the importance of reducing waste and taking care of the environment.

Dorling Kindersley (известно повече като DK) има повече от богата традиция в илюстрованите научни издания за читатели от всички възрасти.

Вниманието към детайлите е поразително дори когато изданията са посветени на фантастични или забавни теми като комикс герои, научна фантастика или LEGO, та какво остава за случаите, в които авторите са решили да разнищят някоя наистина важна и наболяла тема каквато е световното замърсяване и съдбата на тоновете отпадъци, които човечеството неуморно и неизменно генерира всеки ден. Точно такава книга е „Къде отива боклукът? Отпадъци, рециклиране и грижа за нашата планета” на Джес Френч, която за наша огромна радост излезе и на български като част от каталога на изд. „Ракета”.

My eldest daughter is 5 and a half years old (that half is very important at this age!) and is aware that our family is trying to be eco-friendly and that we are reducing our waste and plastic consumption. Many things are completely normal to her as they have been part of our family’s life for quite some time now — cloth nappies, cloth sanitary products, stainless steel drinking bottles, reusable food storage instead of clingfilm, reusable wipes etc. The spread below is her favourite and she loved spotting the swaps we’ve already made. Did you know that every single plastic toothbrush ever made still exists? Or that there’s a floating mass of rubbish larger than the USA drifting around the Pacific Ocean?” This would be great to introduce a topic, either science or geography and can include many cross - curricular links such as English, Art and even Maths. However, this book would also interest a child looking for something to read by themselves. Reading to find books for my kids' educational camp on climate change.

The illustrations in the book are colorful and vibrant, bringing the characters and setting to life. The detailed illustrations capture the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants, as well as the negative impact of waste on their environment. Finally someone wrote a book about a question that I had for a long time! The language is super accessible and easy for kids. The amount of research involved is amazing! The illustrations are beautiful. I particularly like that each chapter is divided into small "articles", it makes it for a lighter read, not too heavy on the scientific aspects. It also presents day-to-day examples of how garbage surrounds us all. Different sources of garbage are discussed in detail - including food waste, industrial waste, plastic waste, and the issue of old electronics. Issues with landfills and dumps are discussed, and also alternatives such as recycling and repairing. So it is clear that there is a huge problem with waste and something must be done. The good news is that there are lots of things that we can do right now to help reduce the problem. People around the world are doing incredible things. A community in Paraguay have made musical instruments out of rubbish and now they play their music to the world. Ocean and beach clean-ups take place regularly around the world. Slowly people are making the change to more eco-friendly items; bamboo toothbrushes, paper straws, beeswax wraps and stores where you can refill your own pots and only buy what you want are all becoming more widely used. Some people are doing an incredible job of reducing the amount of waste they produce and these people lead what is known as Zero Waste Lives. These people produce so little waste over the course of a year that it is actually hard to believe it’s true. Creative people have made businesses out of other people’s trash. These people up-cycle ‘rubbish’ and turn trash into treasure.I found this a fantastic book for young children. The layout breaks the boundaries of how books are usually written. I love the facts that are included throughout, with many of them being ones that I had not heard of myself.
