What happens when the perfect solution to Earth’s trash problem turns into an out-of-this-world disaster? At the Extra Spiffy Widget Company, an inventor unveils a magical doorway leading to a distant, empty world. The company’s bosses see an instant opportunity: toss every piece of garbage through the door, keep Earth sparkling clean, and make record-breaking profits!

Soon, trash cans and landfills disappear. Old furniture, broken appliances, toxic barrels, and every unwanted scrap are sent away. Earth looks cleaner than ever—but no one stops to ask where all that garbage is going.

Then an angry visitor arrives from the other side of the doorway. His planet has been buried beneath Earth’s rubbish, and he has brought back a very messy surprise. Before long, smelly alien sludge floods the company, covers the city, and spreads from the countryside to the ocean shore.

Now everyone must learn an important lesson: trash never truly disappears—it always lands somewhere.

With lively rhymes, hilarious illustrations, fantastical inventions, and a timely environmental message, One Planet’s Trash encourages children to recycle, repair, reuse, share, compost, and think carefully about what they throw away.

Perfect for Earth Day, classroom listen-alouds, environmental science lessons, and families looking for a funny picture book about recycling, sustainability, responsibility, and caring for our planet.
