General look at the RRR, aimed at early readers. Explores the importance of reducing trash, reusing what we can, and recycling. I liked that it include simple ideas of how to achieve the three Rs. Could’ve used a little more substance in relation to the problems caused by too much trash.

Intended for primary-level guided reading, the text contents are very superficial, although the photos are adequate.
