This is an IMPORTANT and powerful picture book with a great message!
I'm Trying To Love Trash is a love letter to garbage and nature's garbage collector's and powerful message of recycling, reusing and making less waste for our planet told by a colorful cast: scavengers, detritivores, and decomposers.
Even with all the hard-working roaches, rats, vultures, termites, earthworms, sea cucumbers, fiddler crabs and microorganisms, all garbage isn't taken care of by nature. Inorganic waste like disposable diapers, plastic bags, tires, glass, even cotton clothing causes landfills and earth is running out of space for all our trash.
Readers will learn to reduce, reuse and recycle, and children will likely suggest their own family to do a better job to help save their planet.
Highly, highly recommended ages 4-8. Readers will learn new vocabulary and enjoy the colorful characters created by Bethany Barton.
