Carbon footprints, alternative energies, deforestation, and water conservation are just some of the issues related to climate change and global warming addressed in this book. Kids explore what others in the world have done and are doing to address the problem, find out what their own community needs, and develop a service project. Includes facts, quotations, real-life examples, write-on pages, resources, a note to adults—and a lot of inspiration to get out there and make a difference. This hands-on student workbook can be used as a stand-alone book or in conjunction with the The Complete Guide to Service Learning. Part of an ongoing series that includes A Kids’ Guide to Hunger & Homelessness, A Kids’ Guide to Helping Others Read & Succeed, and A Kids’ Guide to Protecting & Caring for Animals.
