In this fifth installment in Allan Drummond's picture book series
about green living, a town in Japan takes a stand against its throwaway
past and shows that it really does take a village to make sustainable
change.
Kamikatsu, Japan is known worldwide for its sanitation innovations. This
small community of 1700 people is leading the way in recycling and
up-cycling, and as of 2022, had nearly achieved its goal of zero waste.
Told in Allan's hallmark narrative style, Zero Waste is the story of a
group of citizens who dared to break out of their comfort zone and make
radical change for the good of their town and the planet. Through the
eyes of two children visiting their grandmother, this inspiring addition
to the author's acclaimed Green Power series about everyday communities
inventing exciting new approaches to green living shows that working
together for a common cause has an impact that is lasting,
meaningful--and fun!
