I think this is a good surface skimming book for kids who are interested in how trash affects our world.

I'll be honest that my motivation for reading this was solely in that John Hendrix did the illustrations, and ever since I read [b:The Faithful Spy: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler|37863426|The Faithful Spy Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler|John Hendrix|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1519274415l/37863426._SX50_.jpg|59568554], I get my hands on absolutely every book that he writes and/or illustrates because I am just such a fan.
That being said, the illustrations were sparse.

i thought that it was informational like her other book, Big Money, and even more comprehensive, but i wished that there were more images to break up the text

Read for nonfiction book talks at work. Rating is based on how I think the audience would enjoy it.

Picked this up purely to see the John Hendrix illustrations. Did not know I wanted to read a middle grad non fiction book about trash. I did. Learned some interesting/disturbing things. Recycling doesn’t do what we think it does. Trash does not really for “away”. USA, wealthy nation takes care of its trash in the cheapest way possible. All ways of handling it have downsides. The biggest thing we can do as individuals is reduce by changing our consumer habits. Donnelly has a nice bibliography in the back in further investigation is desired.
