100 Ways to Conserve: Being People and Planet Friendly by David BaumgartenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you don't realize that our planet is in trouble, either you haven't been paying attention or you're just in denial. The amount of waste we dump into landfills is staggering. We throw away enough food every year to feed starving children in other countries more than they need to sustain themselves. Our constant need to be "plugged in" uses billions of Kwh every year resulting in a spike in the use of fossil fuels and higher energy costs. We are killing the planet that sustains, that provides us with water, food and oxygen. When it is all gone, then so are we.
David Baumgarten has put together a wonderful book of 100 ideas to help reduce our carbon footprint, reduce landfill dumping, and best off all, save us lots of money in the process. The ideas are presented in flash card style making the ideas more attractive to younger learners who need to be taught planetary responsibility while they are young so it can turn into a lifestyle for them. I was very happy to find that my family follows most of these already. I am very zealous about saving electricity so it was good to see the same tips here that I use at home. That way I can point them out and say "See? I was right all along!"
"100 Ways To Conserve" is a treat. It's great for children and adults and should be used as an education tool in early education Earth Science. I highly recommend this!
