Description
For young readers ages 8 to 12, an inspiring, lively guide to sustainable living from environmental activist Robin Greenfield. Features kid-friendly information on the highly popular movement towards zero-waste living, as well as information on the climate crisis and solutions.
Robin Greenfield loves this planet, and he’s willing to go to extremes to show kids how our way of life is causing it harm. He’s walked around New York City dressed in his own garbage, cycled across the U.S. on a bamboo bike (three times), and survived one year on food he foraged or grew himself. For Robin, it’s all worth it: he brings attention to important topics like food and water waste; our dependency on fossil fuels; our piles of stuff (and the energy required to produce it); and our disconnection from community and the wider world.
In this uplifting book, Robin uses his own experiences—backed by solid information and a ton of great ideas—to show kids that no one is too young to make a difference, and no action is too small to make a start.
Robin donates 100% of his proceeds from this book directly to Indigenous women-led environmental organizations. Learn more here.
