I have been deeply impressed by the book of Eric Five "Garbage revolution. Landfill on two ends".Eric Fivey's book is an extremely useful and valuable guide that can be used as an introductory course on ecology, material and natural science. This publication will help young readers understand how the water treatment plant works, what happens to different types of waste, explain how they can be used again and what needs to be done. But most importantly – it will tell you how to use simple rules to avoid wasting natural resources and save our planet for future generations. So, what awaits us in this book: 1. Water – from source to tap¡¦ The water cycle in nature, the process of desalination and purification of natural water, wells and septic tanks, water treatment plants, alternative methods of treatment and use of wastewater; 2. Food – where did your lunch come from¡¦ The process of manufacturing and producing food, the life cycle of food, how to recycle food waste, greenhouse gases and their environmental hazards, obtaining energy and excrement and food waste, biodegradable plastic from food waste; 3. Clothing – recipe¡¦ Types of natural and artificial fabrics, the production process of synthetic fabrics, the period of decomposition of different types of fabrics, clothes made of recycled plastic and household waste; 4. Paper – 24 wood or 1 ton of white office paper¡¦ The danger of deforestation, the process of making paper, the process of processing paper products, which paper can and can not be recycled, the house of recycled paper; 5. Plastic – from oil to plastic¡¦ Oil production and oil-producing countries, plastic against glass, plastic bottle manufacturing, plastic recycling, what is bioplastics, plastic debris in the ocean and its environmental hazards, plastic packaging, alternative recycling solutions; 6. Metals – download iron¡¦ Types of metals and methods of its production and production, the use of metal residues, recycling of aluminum and its secondary use, foil or plastic, an alternative to aluminum packaging; 7. Electronics – what is electronic waste¡¦ How do mobile phones, what to do with electronic waste, electronic or paper book, illegal disposal of electronic waste, sorting and recycling of electronic waste; 8. Space debris – how to live without debris¡¦ To live without waste – learn from astronauts, the basic plan for the use of resources at the space level, what is space debris, what satellites do, is it possible to send earth debris into space, the future without waste. The philosophy of a waste-free lifestyle is a philosophy in which each stage of production and use is considered in terms of waste minimization. After all, things are made to be used, repaired, and finally processed! Eric Fivey's book is read in one breath, a lot of interesting facts and practical suggestions that can be applied at home. But the fact that you think hard about our consumption — it is absolutely true!
