About DKfindout! Garbage (Library Edition)

Find out how to live more sustainably, manage waste better, and create an eco-home!

Garbage tells us a lot about how humans have lived in the past, how we’re living now, and the impact our waste disposal has on the environment. To create a more sustainable future, it’s important that little eco-warriors know about the different types of waste and how to create less garbage!
