When a battery oozes, what happens? Is there a difference between a glass jar breaking and a bulb breaking? Can they be thrown with other waste?

The Ooze set of 2 books on batteries brings to focus the hidden side of our everyday chemical and electronic products.

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.

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

In 2009 Daily Dump began research to see if technology could help the informal sector. This publication is the result of 2 years of action research.

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.

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!
