This exciting eco-friendly publication combines crafty kid's projects with a resource for them to create and learn to be conscious of their carbon footprint. Education is the key for this title, as book highlights the importance of being savvy when it comes to how wasteful crafting can be for the planet. Of course, not everything used in each project is from the bin but for other supplies there is a handy guide on what gets a planet-friendly thumbs up and what to avoid. I loved this book's exploration of a huge range of crafts, there are so many lessons to learn for everyone about our carbon footprint and how we can get enjoyment from items in our recycling bins!
