Reviews

Through colorful yet minimally designed pages, young environmentalists discover how to reduce waste and contribute to the well-being of the planet. One-to-two-page chapters feature bolded vocabulary words and large photographs, addressing issues related to excessive water usage, energy consumption, plastic, and garbage. Readers are provided with a list of 10 actionable steps they can take to minimize their waste, such as turning off the faucet while brushing teeth, switching off lights when leaving a room, and utilizing reusable bags. Engaging activities involve tracking waste and reducing energy usage. The back matter includes a glossary, lists of books and websites, and an index. VERDICT Recommended for readers who may find relief in the simplicity of this series design, especially those overwhelmed by busier alternatives.--Cathy DeCampli, Haddonfield Public Library, NJ "School Library Journal"
