What does living green mean? For some, it means making a commitment to
reduce, reuse, and recycle every day. For others, it also means
respecting and conserving our natural resources, so they will be
available in the future. In Living Green: The Ultimate Teen Guide,
readers learn why protecting the environment is such a crucial
undertaking and why and how young adults should take up this important
cause. Living Green demonstrates how reckless indifference to our
planet's needs jeopardizes not only plants and animals but the existence
of mankind. This volume addresses such concerns as leaving a low carbon
footprint, protecting wildlife, saving natural resources, conserving
trees and gardens, and fighting for environmental justice. Most
importantly, Living Green explores the many ways that teens can make a
difference-in their homes, communities, and in the world at large. While
some of the teen efforts described here may be familiar, the author also
focuses on issues seldom addressed, such as dumping toxic waste on poor
and powerless communities. The book includes quotes from green advocates
and teens who consider themselves eco-friendly, as well as useful advice
that will help young adults embrace a lifestyle that will positively
affect generations to come.
