O ovoj e-knjizi

Do you ever worry about the environment? Do you wish you could help make things better? The environmental activists profiled in this book do that every day. One eleven-year-old sold drawings of birds to raise money to help clean up an oil spill. A poet presented her writing against nuclear testing and rising sea levels to the United Nations. One activist coordinated murals and street theater to make people aware of health problems caused by local power plants. And a journalist wrote about the process of raising, processing, and selling beef, which changed how some meat is processed. Explore the stories of these inspiring kids and adults, and learn how to start making a difference yourself. Anyone can change the world!
