"If you've ever been perplexed by the byzantine rules of recycling, you're not alone. And if you wonder how the system even works -- and how you can make it better -- you'll want to read Can I Recycle This? A Guide to Better Recycling and How to Reduce Single-Use Plastics . The book provides an extensive look at what you can and cannot chuck into your blue bin." -- The Washington Post "In her must-read new book, [Jennie Romer] shows you how not to be a "wishcycler"-- someone who wishfully thinks things they recycle will be recycled. You'll be unpleasantly surprised to learn which of your "recyclables" and "compostables" don't actually get recycled or composted, and instead, end up creating air and water pollution, and contributing to climate change." -- The Sierra Club "Can I Recycle This? A Guide to Better Recycling and How to Reduce Single-Use Plastics handily mixes practical information with shots of hope. . . . Young illuminates Romer's points with wit and can-do cheer, and a vibrant color palette that helps elevate a weighty topic into something more engaging. She's a natural fit with Romer's conversational prose." -- Pasadena Weekly
Synopsis
"If you've ever been perplexed by the byzantine rules of recycling, you're not alone...you'll want to read Can I Recycle This? ... An extensive look at what you can and cannot chuck into your blue bin." -- The Washington Post The first illustrated guidebook that answers the age-old question: Can I Recycle This? Since the dawn of the recycling system, men and women the world over have stood by their bins, holding an everyday object, wondering, "can I recycle this?" This simple question reaches into our concern for the environment, the care we take to keep our homes and our communities clean, and how we interact with our local government. Recycling rules seem to differ in every municipality, with exceptions and caveats at every turn, leaving the average American scratching her head at the simple act of throwing something away. Taking readers on a quick but informative tour of how recycling actually works (setting aside the propaganda we were all taught as kids), Can I Recycle This gives straightforward answers to whether dozens of common household objects can or cannot be recycled, as well as the information you need to make that decision for anything else you encounter. Jennie Romer has been working for years to help cities and states across America better deal with the waste we produce, helping draft meaningful legislation to help communities better process their waste and produce less of it in the first place. She has distilled her years of experience into this non-judgmental, easy-to-use guide that will change the way you think about what you throw away and how you do it.

    Excellent prices on used books in great condition. Shipped out quickly. Product condition is accurate to rating in listing. Thanks! NOTE: For this particular book (I ordered several), it came in a soft cover rather than hard cover as the listing stated. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly. They agreed that it was a listing error and provided me with a full refund for this book (without return required) proving they are both a responsible and trustworthy seller.

    Give a hoot, don't pollute. Thank you

    We need to be kind to the planet and pass on to future generations, instead of trying to use everything up ourselves.. Waste disposal is critical. It is very rare not to see trash just about everywhere I go, with the exception when I travel to vacation destinations.
