Zero Waste: How One Community Is Leading a World Recycling Revolution

Zero Waste tells the inspiring true story of Kamikatsu, a small town of 1,700 people in Japan that set out to eliminate all of its waste through radical recycling and upcycling practices, seen through the eyes of two children visiting their grandmother. By working together with determination and creativity, this community came remarkably close to achieving its goal of zero waste. This book is a fantastic choice for students because it shows the real-world impact of environmental action, demonstrates the power of community cooperation, and encourages young readers to think critically about waste, sustainability, and what each of us can do to protect our planet.
