(Team Trash is out today for those interested, i ll be sharing this through out today)
It's too much stuff for kids to handle! It's our problem now, and we didn't even do anything.

I have received a copy of This Graphic Novel ARC, In exchange for an honest review, Thanks to the Kate and Trent, and thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity.
This will come out June 13, 2023, It's a trip through the history of recycling, most of it though was semi modern times, But it was still many information i didn't know before, It makes your mind Whirl on how to fix this kind of issues in your own country, sometimes it feels the best we can do, is just start with ourselves, if we are not living somewhere, where our voice matters...

We didn't make this big plastic mess and we're not gonna clean it up on our own.

It's a middle grade graphic novel, but it was really funny, and really educational for me, and it echoed with my environmentalist line of thinking, Yes humans in recent years, have caused so much pollution, we won't really feel it's heavy effect in our lifetimes, but as we care so much for our children, for their wellbeing and future and education and health, Keeping the planet clean is also so important for their wellbeing and health and existence, and they shouldn't fight it alone, the fight started now in many countries, but the majority i believe still needs to start thinking of that too, including my own country.

We can make real big change that could actually make a difference.

The Economy in most countries is moved by the consumers, if u don't consume and start demanding no plastic packing and so on, eventually people will listen, if it's effecting their sales, specially if there is others who can provide the same service but greener!

The difference between trash and a valuable resource isn't what it's made of, it's what you can do with it!

I have no complaints about the story or the art, As a kid time traveling stories really intrigued me, and it's an amazing way to make important topics like this pass to the younger generation.
As for the art it was cute.

Grazie e arrivederci.

A bit more informative than interesting, but I loved the information! When I was a kid, I remember the biggest environmental ideas I heard about were recycling and planting trees. This book has so much more! It's focused on reducing waste by reducing and reusing when possible. It includes recycling as a final option, but talks about some problems with recycling as well. They even include a bit about the importance of policies in achieving waste reduction and a sample letter for contacting representatives. A well-rounded and hopeful approach to reducing waste in the past, present, and future.

A short, easy to read book on historical sustainability and recycling efforts for young readers. Two kids, Charlie and Oliver, are paired together for a science project and end up accidentally taking a time-traveling car made out of trash back in time to Pompeii, ancient Japan, early America, and more, to learn how people in different eras have handled their garbage. A fun, informative introduction to the topic for kids which includes with an example of how to contact legislators.

thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for sending me an e-arc!!
will always love educational middle grade graphic novels. I didn’t have this type of media available to me in such interesting ways that kept my attention and it makes me so happy to come across so many graphic novels coming out that are catered towards the elementary/middle school age group that cover such important topics in a way that is easy for them to understand while still being entertained. 
the art style for this was so cute! the plot of this happening during/for a science fair makes so much sense which makes it flow so well and helps tie in experiences the target audience have definitely had before while still making sure they are getting important information. 
3.75/5 ⭐️ perfect for a classroom library
