'An easy-to-read guide showing how young people can make small changes to their families' lives that will have a real and positive impact on our environment. It's also packed full of fascinating environmental facts. We all share responsibility for the state of the world, but our young people are its future and fortunately they are also the planet's most enthusiastic guardians. They are well aware that the grownups have made the mess and it's the young people who are going to have to clean it up! Reading this book is a great way for young environmentalists to set their families on course for a greener future. Recommended for young people and concerned adults alike!'

On giving this to my son I wondered how long it would be before I was being quoted sections and being made to do something differently. I was right. About 2 minutes later he starts. Do we do this? Why cant we do that? It opened a huge discussion at dinner about carbon footprints, turning off lights and other energy savers. Most was things I had asked him to do before but it made such a difference having it reinforced in this lovely funky hardback book. Ive asked to have a read now to see if there is anything I can do to help save the planet. Hopefully our little differences will make a big difference in time. Did you know that after a proper dinner it is better to use a dishwasher rather than wash it by hand. I love this book LOL. I wonder if it can justify my usage of the tumble drier. I do recycle the water that comes out if thats any good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This bright book is designed to encourage children to make a difference in a fun and interesting way. Totz2teens Member Rating: 5/5 - Any book that encourages children to make a difference is a good idea.
