1. Recycling For Dummies
2023 by Sarah Winkler
Recycling For Dummies is the indispensable guide for anyone who’s ever stared at a bin labeled "Mixed Plastics" and thought, Am I saving the planet, or ruining someone’s day at the recycling plant? Sarah Winkler takes the bewildering world of recycling—codes, symbols and bafflingly specific rules—and translates it into something even a Vogon could understand. This book tackles the noble yet occasionally maddening art of turning yesterday’s yogurt tub into tomorrow’s park bench, revealing what happens to your recyclables once they vanish from the curb (spoiler: it’s more exciting than you’d think). Packed with practical tips for reducing waste, reusing stuff you didn’t think you could and making smarter consumer choices, it’s a guide to turning eco-guilt into eco-action. Whether you’re wondering if aluminum foil can be recycled or just hoping to avoid being *that person* who chucks pizza boxes in the wrong bin, this book has you covered—efficiently and without judgment. Save the planet, one confused glance at the recycling symbol at a time.

2. How Can We Reduce Household Waste?
2016 by Mary K. Pratt
Each year, an impressive and rather alarming quantity of household waste valiantly hurls itself into American landfills, as if auditioning for the role of "planetary burden." But what if, instead of this ongoing landfill cabaret, much of this waste could be heroically recycled or transformed into something far more useful—like energy resources or smug self-satisfaction? Enter How Can We Reduce Household Waste?, part of the Searchlight Books™ series, which shines an eco-friendly beam on solving this rubbishy dilemma. With enlightening insights, eye-catching imagery and captions that practically waggle their eyebrows at you, Mary K. Pratt delivers a guide so engaging that even your garbage might consider tidying itself up.

Whether you’re retrofitting an old house, plotting a remodel, or just feeling vaguely guilty about your heating bill, this book has you covered—literally, in things like house wraps and better insulation. It even wanders into the futuristic realms of solar hot water and eco-friendly kitchen gadgets. With straightforward advice on navigating the endless options in energy-efficient products, it’s a guide to turning well-meaning energy-saving intentions into actual savings—and maybe even a smug grin every time you glance at your thermostat.
