Did you know that energy consumption by humans has increased by at least 30,000 times in the last 5000 years? In Delhi alone, there are over 80,000 trucks that run on the city roads every night. They emit un-burnt fossil fuels from their exhausts. Isn’t it terrifying that over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution every year?

Filled with eye-opening facts, beautiful pictures, multiple activities, and a quiz that helps reinforce learning; this book is the perfect guide to help you become an energy saver.
