Maddie Moate makes wonderful educational videos, so when I heard she was coming out with a children’s book about eco-stories of every day stuff, I was especially thrilled. These are some of TKSST’s favorite topics, from ancient windmillstodifferent kindsofeco-bricks,elephant poo paper,volcano bread,worm bins,fog catchers, and lots more. 

Stuff: Eco-Stories of Everyday Stuff is full of smart, sustainable stories and innovative technologies that demonstrate to kids of all ages how many problem solving possibilities there are in the world. And there’s room for so many more. Moate writes, “We don’t always thing about this story when we make, use, and throw away our stuff. But when we do, when we really think about the way something is made and the effect it could have on our planet, the most ordinary thing can suddenly become… extraordinary.”

A UK-published book, it might be harder to find in local stateside bookshops. Buy it via Moate’s site if you’re in the UK, or…
