Teacher Resources

Here are a few books that can provide additional background information in regards to waste and ways that we can reduce the amount we produce.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: An Easy Household Guide by Nicky Scott. A good practical book that informs the reader about what they can do with old cell phones and medicines. It has a listing from A-Z of household items and how they can be recycled.

Composting: An Easy Household Guide by Nicky Scott. A great book that teaches about composting whether you live in a house or an apartment. Excellent for those teachers who would like to create a compost at their school.

Don't Throw It Out: Recycle, Renew and Reuse to Make Things Last by Lori Baird. A terrific book that gives other uses for household items rather than throwing them away.

Rubbish!: Reuse Your Refuse by Kate Shoup. A cool craft book that allows the reader to make more than 30 projects from items that would normally be thrown away like bottle cap magnets, credit card bracelets and board game clocks.
