Trash
Talk - Intro & Excerpts
Author
Discussing Mission & Purpose of Book
|
People
are constantly bombarded with negative information about
the environment and our resources. Feeling powerless
because we cannot afford to donate cash or time to a
cause, we begin to feel overwhelmed by the immense environmental
problems our world faces. In Trash Talk, we focus on
changing people's mindset to a more open, hopeful and
proactive one. Not by finger-pointing at corporations
and governments, but by starting in our own homes, at
our own desks.
Trash Talk began as a series of articles that focused
on ways the average person can make small changes to
do their part for the Earth. We compiled all the articles
and other information that we could not fit in the limited
space of our bi-weekly column into this book. Trash
Talk embarks on frugal and conscious living techniques
for the individual. We focus on the reuse of "waste"
materials and reducing the consumption of resources.
Trash talk is written to empower people to feel more
positive about their worth as individuals in a hectic,
expensive, environmentally stressed world. We show how
to make a real and visible difference, while saving
money at the same time.
Trash Talk is an excellent resource in the classroom
for recycling, environmental and gardening programs.
Educators/caregivers can use the book to teach gardening
skills (seed saving, composting, tree planting) and
Vermiculture (worm composting) - the students can build
their own worm bin and learn from the "worm farm".
Craft websites are listed for artistic projects using
"waste" items.
The
book could be used as a tool for probing young minds
to come up with original reuse ideas or environmental
activities that the group can participate in. 140 resources
listed at the back of the book will lead educators and
individuals to new information and ideas. Trash Talk
is at the Grade 10 level of reading, however, in the
hands of a teacher the concepts and projects can easily
be implemented as early as Grade 4.
