The Garbage Monster

The spotlight is on... garbage! Let’s tell a fairytale to children before such monsters as waste management, sustainable development, responsible consumption and production pop up in their life.

A girl goes for a walk in the forest. There is a lot of trash there! The plants and animals are suffering and accusing the garbage monster of ruining the Earth and the air. What a surprise it is to learn that the monster is actually trying to save the forest by making his body from all the things people have thrown away! The girl and the monster decide to tell everyone what they can do with their unwanted stuff. Thanks to the lotto game that comes with this book, sorting waste can become an entertaining activity.
