Let's Talk Trash Part of the nonfiction Orca Take Action series for middle-grade readers, this illustrated book examines practical ways waste can be transformed to protect the planet and fight the effects of the climate crisis.

Humans create mountains of garbage, but did you know you can use that waste to help the planet?

You can heat your house with poop, make coffee with filtered pee and blow your nose with your cereal box. People around the world are finding creative ways to transform food scraps, invasive plants and sea creatures into alternative fossil fuels and even plastics. There are cities reusing water and recycling paper, crops, and old clothes to help protect the land, forests and water.

In What a Waste, young readers will learn about cutting-edge projects to reuse and repurpose garbage, and the people behind these innovations. Do you want to become a waste warrior? Don't just talk trash, reuse it!
