Jan McHarry 1993 287 pages (M100) A book for everyone - whether you live in the Philippines or Poland, Burkina Faso or Brazil! A wealth of information explaining how to get the most out of everyday items and how to care for the environment using practical recycling methods. The book is in three sections. The first section deals with the practices and principles of recycling and minimising waste. The second section gives an overview of worldwide action for reuse, repair and recycling. Finally an A-Z, a myriad of everyday items and how to reuse or repair them. The author encourages the belief that 'second-hand need not be second-best'. A recipe for simple batik dyeing using beeswax is shown. A list of UK resource addresses and a glossary completes a very versatile and interesting text.
