5.0 out of 5 stars Chrissy's World Of Books - Chrissy's Reviews, April 9, 2010
This review is from: What's It Like Living Green?: Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live (Paperback)
I have to admit that I don't recycle as much as I should be doing. We recycle cans, and paper products but after reading this book there are a lot more things and ways that my family can recycle and help out not to clutter up our Earth.

There are 6 parts of this book: What's it like, Living Green? , Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Responsible for our Earth and Kids teaching kids by the way they live. In the first part there is a 2 page green quiz... I have to say I did pretty well with the quiz but I could be doing better.

This book is a wonderful way to read about all the different ways you can recycle and great tips on ways to be Green. As you read this book you will learn about how people have been recycling and their tips on how you can do that also. This book has all kinds of tips from composting to water conservation.

I defiantly would recommend this book for anyone who is wanting to learn about going green and what they can do to help be a part of keeping this Earth clean. We only have one Earth its not like we can move to the moon when we fill the Earth up. This book has opened my eyes that I can be doing a whole lot more to recycle, reuse and conserve what I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Book, September 7, 2009
This review is from: What's It Like Living Green?: Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live (Paperback)
This is a great book. It isn't preachy. It doesn't tell kids (and adults) what they should do to help save the world. It shows things other people are doing. It has wonderful ideas and great examples of what it's like to live Green. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
