What is Colin doing scrambling around in the rubbish bin? Has he lost something? His sister
thinks he's lost his marbles, his father thinks he's lost his manners,
and his mother - well - she's losing her temper very quickly.
But Colin wants to save the world. And the rubbish bin seems a good place to start. But his family are NO help at all!
'During a year an average family will probably throw
away 1.5 tonnes of rubbish - the equivalent of half the
weight of a good-sized elephant'
His Dad has no job, his Mum works too hard (and hangglides in her spare time!) and Colin's sister,
Allie, gets a job delivering junk mail. Saving the world is harder than it looks. And when the council threaten to close down the local recycling centre - some drastic action is called for...
This is a high-spirited story, playfully told, which includes great recycling
tips and startling facts about ecology.

stand of native trees is in danger of being cut down Colin is
determined to do anything to stop it - he's even prepared to wear a
bird suit to get his message across.
