Do you bring leftovers for lunch? Or shop for fresh, unpackaged produce at the farmers' market? Perhaps you opt for a bamboo toothbrush over a plastic one, or take public transportation when you go out? Creativity plays a part, too--in crafty projects like using an eggshell as a little container to grow watercress, or making a wildlife shelter in your backyard. With ten doable suggestions, bright illustrations, and short explanations of how the actions help to protect the earth, Melanie Walsh shows even the youngest eco-warriors several easy ways to weave green choices into their everyday lives.
