A KID'S GUIDE TO SAVING THE PLANET

The Earth is warming. The climate is changing. Sea levels are on the rise, and plastic is showing up... everywhere.

We have every reason to be concerned about our planet, our only home. New inventions and technologies will help, but cleaning up the planet--saving the world--will require all of us to pay attention and take action. What can you do to help? Plenty!

Despite what you may hear on the news, the situation isn't hopeless, and we aren't helpless. In this inspiring, informative book, nationally recognized meteorologist Paul Douglas clearly and thoughtfully presents the daunting problems of climate change. And he offers realistic solutions (including some that are already working!) and actions that kids can participate in now. It's imperative that we all step up and become part of the solution, by engaging in new, smarter ways of living.

Paul Douglas is a nationally recognized meteorologist, entrepreneur, and author based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. He has witnessed the symptoms of a rapidly changing climate show up in extreme weather and has made regular appearances on MSNBC and in The Washington Post.
Douglas is the author of Restless Skies: The Ultimate Weather Book.
