Publisher's Synopsis
What good are used take-away packages? For today's fast-food-loving, environmentally conscious children, they might just be the key to viable energy alternatives and the reduction of post-consumer waste. More than just an activity book, this hands-on practical introduction to the concept of renewable energy features entertaining projects that enable children to produce useful items using recycled and recyclable materials and an energy source that's free for the taking - the sun. Activities using solar power and recycled containers include making a solar-heated dog house, designing your own solar dream house, making a solar heater, and cooking with the sun.
