【推荐2】A librarian in Indonesia's Java Island is lending books to children in exchange for rubbish they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more. Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with books stored up at the back for children in Muntang village in exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back.
She told Reuters she is helping develop reading habits of the kids as well as make them aware of the environment. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her "Rubbish Library" and ask for the books. They are all carrying rubbish bags and Raden's three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She is happy that the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
Raden said,“Let us build a culture of literacy（读写能力）from young age to reduce the harm of the online world. We should also take care of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from rubbish.”She collects about 100 kilograms of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend.
Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 1l-year-old reader, searches for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much rubbish, our environment will become dirty. That's why I look for rubbish to borrow a book,”he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia has been around 96 percent, though a report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic(流行病)would leave more than 80% of15-year-olds below the minimum(最低的）reading level.

You save: $4.80 (24%) Review: By Pat Kane
I love Bark magazine! I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down. Everyone should have a chance to live and Bark stresses that with its articles. This magazine is MUST HAVE for any dog lover!!
●Dog Fancy
Cover price: $54.00 Price: $14.99 ($1.25/issue)
You save: $39.01 (72%) Review: By Berner Mom
Don’t waste your money on this magazine. 60-70 percent of it are advertisements, and the articles offer little useful information. It might be suitable for children, but not adults who are serious about educating themselves about dogs.
●Dog World
Cover price: $48.88 Price: $14.99 ($1.25 /issue)
You save: $33.89 (69%) Review: By one critic
Dog World has many very interesting and thought-provoking (令人思考的) articles for people involved in dog showing, breeding (饲养), performance events, etc. However, over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is boring. Still, as a whole, I recommend (推荐) it for the articles. Good articles, but tons of ads.
●Modern Dog
Cover price: $45.00 Price: $15.00 ($3.75/issue)
You save: $30.00 (66%) Review: By Dinah
My new favorite magazine! Beautiful photos, smart and interesting articles, fashion, art, interviews with famous people... all with a dog focus! Cover models range from Paris Hilton and Tinkerbell to Virginia Madsen and her dogs. Thanks to Modern Dog I now know how to give a dog-friendly cocktail party and how to actually get my dog to come when she’s called. Surely worth checking out.
