5 Disgustingly Cool Books for Kids
Contents | digital publication |
Ideal for | 8-12 yr olds |
Print Size | A4 (folds to A5) |
5 Disgustingly Cool Books is a set of 5 fun books that looks at big questions for the young exploring mind. Each of the 5 books has been designed around a core idea or question. For instance, Where do you think the cleanest water comes from? What is yucky? Why do pizzas seem cooler than rotis? What if I don’t say enough? What are the not-so-cool stories behind every product we buy. The idea is to provoke questioning and discovery among children, rather than offer them the ‘right’ answer.
This book set is best enjoyed by 8-12 year olds, the golden age when children start forming opinions of the world around them and gradually build their own sense of self. It encourages critical thinking. Pair it with the Ooze Stopper or Care Box to help children experience the power of their everyday actions.
5 Disgustingly Cool Books is also a great resource if you are an adult working with children's groups. Read a 2009 review here of the first print edition of these books !

Great resource for students, professionals and anyone interested in understanding the value of informal waste sector in managing waste in urban India.

Daily Dump coined the term Recycle Guru to show how the local waste picker and dealer are actually experts and must be acknowledged as such. The report highlights the challenges of resource recovery of dry waste in urban Indian centres. In a simple to understand style it explains the involvement of different stakeholders and the possible future solutions to manage waste and provide dignity to the informal waste sector.
Daily Dump is still exploring the most valid leverage point to bring change to the way dry waste streams can be managed. It continues to work in this area.

Ouch & Moo Book set | 2 Children's Books about Plastic Bags
Dimensions (inches) | 9.5"L * 7"W |
Contents | set of 2 books |
Material | Paper |
Ideal for | all children above 4 years |
The Ouch & Moo books on Plastic Bags bring to focus the menace of this everyday material. It gets children to connect it to their everyday lives in an interactive, fun way.
While all plastic is not bad, we've reached a stage where it threatens to eat into our guts – like in the case of the poor cows in these books. Materials have a life, and we must help our children become aware of their advantages and disadvantages from a very young age. This will enable them to make informed choices as they grow and begin to make decisions. These books help children understand the concept of manmade objects and natural things. It also includes some concrete steps that a child can take in her daily routine to build the habit of reducing, reusing and recycling.
The Red Ouch and Moo book (for older children) and its companion, the Yellow Ouch and Moo book (for younger kids) address the issue at different levels of complexity. It is like reading two versions of a Birbal story at the same time. We believe that this fosters a sense of perspective and inquiry, so necessary to understand the “complete” story. Both books in the set are illustrated in different styles, as a way to encourage different ways of seeing. Enjoy it and gift it too!

Daily Dump Remix Powder is our magic mix, guaranteed to help you get home composting right in one try! It absorbs extra water, provides air gaps for circulation and keeps away any foul odour.

The resultant moist powder is then fully sun-dried before mixing with microbes and compost in the right proportion. This is then packed for your use. Moist cocopeat is not as effective in aerobic home composting.
Directions for use
- Layer wet kitchen waste with 3-4 handfuls of Remix Powder everyday.
- No waste should be visible, this helps control fruit flies.

- This 3kg bag of Remix Powder should last you about 3-4 weeks.

Remix Powder has more volume than weight, which results in disproportionately larger shipping charges by third-party vendors. Rates at Partner premises include the shipping costs and this needs to be factored in while ordering. Please remember we are a small enterprise and shipping is out of our control. For those keen to avoid shipping costs, and who have the time and space to make their own cocopeat powder, you can try Daily Dump CocoBrick.
