    About this ebook

    The collective actions of many people are much more powerful than that of any one high-ranking politician. As the majority, we can force changes by making changes. Simply by living in such a way we can set an example for others to emulate.
    If a person can weed through all the bad news that is spewed at us on a daily basis, and go looking for sources that offer proactive, conscious living topics, it can be quite refreshing.
    Therefore, we feel honored to share with you some inspiration to help you start right where you are. Wasted energy is as bad as garbage being left in the wrong place - it does no good for your pocket book or the planet. Being 'green' means more than just following the R's of waste management - it also entails the proper and responsible use of resources. From water to electricity this book covers a lot of ground and has you re-thinking your entire way of using the resources around the home and office. You can't afford to not own this book!

    Dave Brummet

    Dave Brummet has lived his life in the interior of beautiful British Columbia, Canada and spends free time exploring the wilderness for inspiration. An avid photographer and history buff he likes to explore the old mines and ghost towns that riddle the backcountry of BC. Whether it is on snowshoes, by mountain bike or on foot with the two dogs they have rescued, he and his wife, Lillian, tend to tread a light path on the earth and leave only footprints and take only pictures when on their many excursions. Writing professionally since 1999 Dave co-authors with Lillian for most of their published work to date. He is in charge of the editing, proofreading, graphic work and cover design as well as the up-keep of their website and creating musical audio ads for Lillians’s radio show. Also a professional drummer/percussionist and educator, Dave has collaborated on various songs that later led to him writing lyrics of his own, some of which are included in the Brummet’s most recent book of poetry, “Rhythm and Rhyme”. Initially it was Dave who first sparked the idea for the Brummet’s to walk this path they tread today – he decided to take a writer’s course to learn what he might be able to do with his short stories that he has compiled over the years. Most of those stories have remained unpublished to this day due to other projects taking precedence, but Dave plans to release some in the near future.

      Trash Talk takes us through the 4 Rs of sustaining our planet - Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It starts off by sharing some facts, such as the mere act of recycling can reduce the waste you personally contribute to landfills by up to 30%. Then we're given helpful and often fun ways we can cut down on our waste and reuse or recycle those things we're tempted to toss in the trash.The issues covered here are things everyone should be thinking about. We only have this one planet, and we're all borrowing it from our children. It's about time we started taking better care of their legacy.

      People are constantly bombarded with negative information about the environment and our resources. Feeling powerless because we cannot afford to donate cash or time to a cause, we begin to feel overwhelmed by the immense environmental problems our world faces. In Trash Talk, we focus on changing people's mindset to a more open, hopeful and proactive one. Not by finger-pointing at corporations and governments, but by starting in our own homes, at our own desks.Trash Talk began as a series of articles that focused on ways the average person can make small changes to do their part for the Earth. We compiled all the articles and other information that we could not fit in the limited space of our bi-weekly column into this book. Trash Talk embarks on frugal and conscious living techniques for the individual. We focus on the reuse of "waste" materials and reducing the consumption of resources. Trash talk is written to empower people to feel more positive about their worth as individuals in a hectic, expensive, environmentally stressed world. We show how to make a real and visible difference, while saving money at the same time. Trash Talk could be an excellent resource in the classroom for recycling, environmental and gardening programs. Educators/caregivers can use the book to teach gardening skills (seed saving, composting, tree planting) and Vermiculture (worm composting) - the students can build their own worm bin and learn from the "worm farm". (Did you know that compost worms (red wigglers) can produce 2,000-9,000 babies annually?) Craft websites are listed for artistic projects using "waste" items. The book could be used as a tool for probing young minds to come up with original reuse ideas or environmental activities that the group can participate in. 140 resources listed at the back of the book will lead educators and individuals to new information and ideas. Trash Talk is at the Grade 10 level of reading, however, in the hands of a teacher the concepts and projects can easily be implemented as early as Grade 4. Trash Talk has been globally received and locally embraced. Eagle bulletin (South Africa), Conservation and Recycling Journal (Netherlands), Scrap Magazine (UK), Natural Life Magazine (Canada) and Alternatives Magazine (USA) - are some examples of this global support.
