Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: An Easy Household Guide (Chelsea Green Guides) Paperback – September 5, 2007

I was disappointed. Did not provide effective tips and methods to recycle stuff.

I think everybody on Earth should have a copy of this book in their home. Our society has become so wasteful, and many people don't even realize how they are hurting the planet, or more importantly, how they can help!! This book is really handy because it lists anything & everything you can think of, with instructions on how to best dispose of them. There's a ton of information & novel ideas in here. I appreciated the tips on creative ways to reuse certain items that don't qualify as recyclables.The book itself is physically small- that is, not standard book size. It's more like a pocket guide. I expected it to be bigger when I purchased it, but it really makes no difference... and hey, they're saving paper I guess!

I read this book to get credit for my women's book club. I have been recycling for 15 years so I already knew most of this information. It's a quick read and full of easy things to do to make a difference. Great if you are just getting into saving the planet.

this is a great book for people just learning about recycling.. it has all of the ifs and hows to recycling.. great and useful read

I like this book, it teaches me how to love the earth and be green.

This is the second edition of this nice little book is essential to those who want to minimise the impact of their consuming in the eviroment.Hardly anything different from the first edition , colour drawings instead of black and white and a more attractive cover , if you have the first edition do not bother to buy this one as is essentialy the same book.Very easy to read and printed ( guess ) in recycled paper with very useful guide is very informative about ways of reducing the amount of things that we send to the rubbish bin every week.The book features an A to Z guide of all the items that can recycle from cars to jars and many different ways of reducing what can not be recycled.Even if you live in a flat in the city and you ahve no access to a compost bin this book will illustrate how to stop generating rubbish.I found the chapter on office recycling particularly helpful.Independently of your beliefs on global warming and politics ,there is argument that cosuming less natural resources is in everyone's interest.5 stars

This is a great book for informing readers on how to reduce, reuse and recycle what most of us consider "waste". It has a concise and informative introduction to the topic and then provides an alphabetical listing of many common "waste" items and how best to be reduce, reuse or recycle them.The book also points out quite a number of UK-specific organisations who offer recycling services which I found particularly useful. I have already found myself recycling or reusing products which I would have previous thrown in the rubbish bin.

There are so many things that you would put in your bin that you can divert away from the land fill. This book is a real eye opener in what can be done with items you think you can't use anymore. It's not about how you can recycle products away from your home but also how they may get a second life in your house or garden. For me. the section on reusing cooking oil alone probably paid for this book.

Excellent little book which crams in a ton of information for those of us who want to learn all about recycling. More so the book itself can be recycled..not that that will be happening though, as this is a keeper!
