Leaky Landfills (Paperback)

Where does your trash go when you throw it out? Most of it goes to a landfill. Nearly 1.8 million acres of habitat have been lost to landfills just in the United States alone. This book introduces readers to the issue of disposable materials and what landfills do to the environment around them. Readers gain valuable information about what materials are reusable and how they can make changes in their own life to make a difference. Photographs of landfills and fascinating fact boxes will inspire young readers to do what they can to save natural habitats.
