ReviewedPeople around the world are traveling green! From hybrid cars that are more fuel-efficient to public transportation projects that emit fewer pollutants, kids will discover the and innovative ways people are protecting the environment and making the world a better place. Packed with large, full-color photos and interesting facts, Traveling Green is sure to engage young environmentalists as they learn all about the current efforts to make their planet greener—and discover ways that they can help out, too!
Uptodate statistics drive the urgent arguments in this lively photoessay in the Going Green series. Bright, fullcolor pictures support the facts and the call to readers to walk, cycle, and use public transport to cut down on greenhouse gases, which can increase global warming. New York City gets praise for its highly accessible subway system that serves a huge population, and photos show the packed trains with a lively mix of passengers. Other spreads show soldiers driving an electric car around an army base in Germany. Planes may be the fastest type of transportation, but they are also the worst for the environment (quick and dirty). Today's young conservationists will welcome the statistics, images, and examples of pollution and its solutions, which many adults have ignored for too long.
