Yes, it is. I'll keep it handy for reference. Even though I'm much more aggressive than most people I know about reduceing, reusing and recycling, this book taught me a lot. Very recommended!

Informative and very useful. Good links to websites too.

This is a very handy little guide to keep almost everything humans use on a day to day basis out of the landfills, with ideas on all three Rs. Unfortunately, some of the recycling information is already a little out of date. But a great guide.

Very basic guide to recycling. Good for ideas of where to look for more (websites and books), but not enough to justify buying a copy. Pick it up at the library (a very green way to get your hands on a copy).
