This book was received as an ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Books in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。I was a little familiar of the basics of recycling but Can I Recycle This？ takes a deeper meaning to the word recycle and educates us on why certain materials need to be recycled and are dangerous to our planet。 I loved how the first recycled material the book focused on was Pizza Boxes。 I myself used to live with a roommate that This book was received as an ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Books in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。I was a little familiar of the basics of recycling but Can I Recycle This？ takes a deeper meaning to the word recycle and educates us on why certain materials need to be recycled and are dangerous to our planet。 I loved how the first recycled material the book focused on was Pizza Boxes。 I myself used to live with a roommate that would hoard pizza boxes and all I wanted to do with them was take them to the trash bin。 Now that I knew they can always be recycled and my complex now has a recycle bin instead of a dumpster， I feel less guilty。 This book is perfect for a deeper education in the art of recycling and learning all the details on why it can save the world and save everyone。 We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library。 That is why we give this book 5 stars。 。。。more

Whether we're wishcyclers， tree huggers， or reluctant trash sorters。。。we all need the information in this book。 In Can I Recycle This？ A Guide to Better Recycling， author Jennie Romer and illustrator Christie Young have created probably the most readable guide on recycling and what should actually go in that yellow recycling container。 Milk jugs？ Yep。 Yogurt cups？ Nope。 Shampoo bottles？ Yep。 Juice pouches？ Nope。 But it's not just a red-light/green-light list。 Romer provides history， science， and Whether we're wishcyclers， tree huggers， or reluctant trash sorters。。。we all need the information in this book。 In Can I Recycle This？ A Guide to Better Recycling， author Jennie Romer and illustrator Christie Young have created probably the most readable guide on recycling and what should actually go in that yellow recycling container。 Milk jugs？ Yep。 Yogurt cups？ Nope。 Shampoo bottles？ Yep。 Juice pouches？ Nope。 But it's not just a red-light/green-light list。 Romer provides history， science， and real-world data to inform， and Young provides fresh， whimsical， watercolor-y illustrations that pull the reader through the book。 It's a truly enjoyable read， and one I will reference frequently when I don't want to be a wishcycler （someone who puts items in a recycling bin instead of the trash even if they're not sure whether they are recyclable or not）。WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS BOOK:Romer and Young find the perfect balance of hard information and engaging （fun！） illustrations。 Even the graphs are illustrations！ It's like hiding kale in brownies。WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR:Anyone who wants to be smart about recycling。 Heck， even people who don't want to be smart about it—it may still change habits。*Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Books for providing a copy of this book for review purposes。 。。。more
