Empower kids to take action for the planet—starting with their own trash.

Zero Waste Kids is a fun and practical guide to reducing waste at home, at school, and in your community—packed with illustrated activities inspired by environmental activist and adventurer Robin Greenfield.

From conducting a household trash audit to composting food scraps and swapping single-use items for sustainable alternatives, this hands-on book helps kids understand where waste comes from and how they can make simple changes that matter. Along the way, they’ll learn why it’s important to grow some of their own food, how to create with natural materials, and how small actions add up to big impact.

Trash is one of the most visible and relatable environmental challenges facing our world—and a powerful place for kids to begin their sustainability journey. With step-by-step projects, helpful tips, and encouragement from real-life zero-waste advocates, Zero Waste Kids makes it easy to get started.

  • Conducting a household trash audit
