Asks the big questions about global warming and considers how we
can all help. The book works best as an informative guide to the
main issues. Starting with an easy-to-read potted history,
beginning with the industrial revolution, it examines everything
from fair trade to biofuels.
This book doesn’t shy away from politics either, asking what
governments can do about climate change and the threat to our
planet. For extra green points, the book is printed on Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) approved paper and 20p from every copy
goes to the environmental charity Friends of the Earth.

This explanation of the environmental problems facing our planet,
what has gone wrong and what needs to be done about it, will help
older primary and younger secondary pupils to a better
understanding of environmental problems. It includes an
introduction to the energy crisis, pollution, food and food miles,
wildlife in danger, disappearing forests and carbon footprints.
There are lots of practical ideas for how pupils can ‘go green’ and
support for teachers in engaging pupils about possible futures for
our planet. The language is appropriate for key stage 2, the
illustrations are interesting and there is a useful glossary. The
book is robust and appropriately priced, with 20p from every copy
sold going to Friends of the Earth. A good classroom or library
reference to get pupils started before carrying out independent
research and developing their own responses to environmental
issues, it is also a useful addition to primary ESD resources.
