Turning Trash into Treasure by Adam Buckingham
Turning Trash into Treasure by Adam Buckingham
Reviewed by Sue Hurst
Adam Buckingham is passionate about using the detritus of modern life to create a huge range of activities and experiences for young children.
This book contains hundreds of different ways of using “trash” and these are recorded in clear, colourful photographs from a range of centres. As I trawled through these photographs I was struck by how inventive people have been with stuff that would usually end up in our rubbish bins and dumps. The range of experiences and resources seems to be limited only by human imagination.
The author obviously has a mission to raise awareness of a number of important issues, apart from the value of using cast-offs rather than dumping these things.
