Rating: - Use in my classroom every day!!!
I have used the older version of the "50 Simple Things Kids Can do to Save the Earth" every year in my classroom for the last seven years. I am so excited for an updated adult version.

Rating: - A must for anyone who cares about the earth
This is a great follow-up to the classic book that alerted us all to the dangers facing the environment. It is at once a renewed call for action, a how-to for making change, and a guide for building community resources. It offers tons of creative suggestions for uniting with other to save our planet and also provides a wealth of information about what's affecting the environment and why we should care. A great book all around!

Javna believes that we must do more than green our lives to save the planet. 5o Simple Things You can do to Save the Earth, is an "interactive ... Read More
