Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bobbie's room is full of stuff—SO full, that it's hard for her and her "best cousin," Joanie, to find space to play. When Bobbie's mom gives her a two–week deadline to clear out the clutter, Bobbie has an idea–instead of taking stuff out of her room, she brings garage–sale finds and other glamorous garbage in. Will Bobbie transform the chaos into a beautiful big–kid room? This title weaves together three appealing themes: letting go of toys and dealing with a messy room, turning trash into treasure, and recycling and repurposing—a part of every school curriculum from kindergarten up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Crooks chronicles the history of waste management, showing how an ideology of privatization set the stage for the local refuse collection business to become a global corporate enterprise. The author tracks the emergence of the multinational firms that dominate the business and examines how governments fail to cope with the waste disposal needs of growing populations. He discusses the emergence of a citizens' counter-movement, communities standing up to the troubling consequences of contemporary waste disposal--huge incinerators spewing toxic metals into the atmosphere, dumps that leak toxins into the groundwater, and hazardous waste sites that must be monitored indefinitely. Giants of Garbage is a clear-eyed analysis of one of the largest and most persistent environmental issues facing Canadians today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eve’s brave and honest experiment reveals the shocking impact of the throwaway society we’ve become and at the same time showing small ways we can all do better.” —Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, founder of Plastic Free July Year of No Garbage is Super Size Me meets the environmental movement. In this book Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all. For an entire year. And- as it turns out- during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken, and single stream recycling is a lie. That flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable. That plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna want to read this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Big Idea of the Old Testament provides a basic overview of each Old Testament book, laying down a foundation of why the work as a whole is so important. While the information is not intended to be seminary level, it is intended to inspire readers to dig deeper into the word of God. As you read, you’ll consider questions such as: • Do we really need to know all the answers to our deepest questions? • What reasons do we have to celebrate our existence? • What part do we play in God’s cosmic plan? • What is the purpose of life on our planet? • Is science at odds with the idea of God? The Bible is the story of God making the impossible, possible. It is the story of God repairing and restoring the broken, shattered, ugly, terrorized, damaged, unrepairable, discarded, self-induced guilt of humanity. Join the author as he opens a door that will lead you to a lifetime of exploration into the wonders of our Lord.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously perceived as a local, technical issue for governments, waste management is now also a global, socio-political process involving complex patterns of multi-level governance. Yet these geographical complexities have not previously been considered in any detail. This book examines the neglected geographies of waste management, in particular, the integral processes of trans-localization and politicization that are emerging in waste networks. Illustrated by in-depth case studies from New Zealand and Ireland, it critically analyzes the interaction between political scales of governing waste, from the local to the supra-national level. It also looks at the impact of wider systems of governance, civil society and the private sector on waste management policy and practices. In doing so, the book provides a better understanding of waste governance and recommendations for better management of the waste sector in the future.
