This book teaches about current issues related to climate change, such as: carbon footprints, "foodprints" (how the food we consume affects climate change), the greenhouse effect, alternative energies, deforestation, water conservation, severe weather, the history of environmentalism, and effects of climate change around the world. Kids explore what others in the world (including young people) have done and are doing to address the issues, find out what their community needs, and develop a service project. The workbook includes facts, quotations, real-life examples, write-on pages, resources, a note to adults—and a lot of inspiration to get out there and make a difference in the world. Includes an exclusive interview with Reid Detchon, executive director of Energy and Climate Division of the United Nations Foundation. (publisher)
