BOOK NAME: True Green
AUTHOR: Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin
True Green is a book about helping the environment. "Green" is a term used when referring to helping the environment and stopping global warming. For a while now our Earth has been getting warmer and warmer, in part, caused by gas and factories. One effect is that the ice in the North Pole and Antarctica is slowly melting. Animals are dying too. So that is why WE have to stop global warming soon.
The book gives you on each page one way to go "green" with a total of 100 ideas to become more environmentally friendly. For example, you can put a bucket outside on a rainy day and try to collect water for watering flowers the next day. Another way is you can send a letter to the mayor of your town or a politician about going green or stopping global warming. The book motivates you to worry about some of the problems that are going on around the world and to do something about it.
I decided to do one of the projects from the book. I made a list of ways that both my family and I could work on being more globally efficient. The things that were on my checklist were; turn off lights when you leave a room or the house, recycling, turn computer onto sleep mode, shorten showers to 4 minutes, water plants, and turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
Every time we do one of the ideas on the list, we get one "green" point. Once we get ten points, we get one iPod download or a little prize. It's really working and for my younger brothers it shows them about why we are doing this and it gives them something to look forward to when they get ten points. This was a really GREAT book!

I hate global warming. It makes me mad. But it sounds good! The book I mean.
Hey greg999: Our world is in danger, okay? That is sad, not boring! And Jordan: Thank you for doing this book. I hope it brought the state of our world to more kids' attention. After all, someday this world is going to be ours! Do we want it to be falling apart?
I care about global warming too, just as everyone should. It's sad how polar bears are loosing ice-in the books that I am reading, bears call summer burn sky, and that means the ice melts quicker than other seasons. The book is called Seekers by Erin Hunter.All the animals in the book can relate to real life enviormental problems, so I think you would probably enjoy it as much as i do. :)
omg! this would be like an awesome book for me! im like really into anti global warming and peace and all that, so AWESOLME!!!!!!!
ummm.....greg999.....you need to stop saying stuff like that, and start CARING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT!!!!!!!! seriously, stuff like this is NOT boring! its very importanat! and its not LAMEMO! just read the book, i promise you it WON'T be boring!!!!!!
