<p><strong>Get loopy with this playful introduction to the hopeful, transformative possibilities of circular systems!</strong></p>

<p>Nature works on a cycle, where everything in the loop has value and nothing is wasted. But modern humans have created a different kind of system: it’s less like a circle and more like a line. We take, make, use and then, when those things break or we’re finished with them, we toss them away.</p>

<p>But our planet’s resources are limited, and we’ve taken too much. That’s why all over the world, people are reusing, repurposing, repairing and designing waste out of the system!</p>

<p>Explore the ways that people everywhere are creating a loopier world: from growing building materials out of fungi to designing headphones (and cellphones!) that last, to producing vehicles that run on renewable energy. Plus, kids and families have a role to play, too. <em>Loop de Loop</em> introduces young readers to repair cafés, toy rentals, tool libraries and many more fun, innovative ways to build community and a more sustainable world.</p>

<p>Includes a list of ways children can take part in circular systems, along with a glossary and sources for further reading.</p>
