With "Going Green" being the new catchphrase, it's no surprise there are a bunch of titles centered on teens and the next generation who will inherit this planet.
The pithy slogan that is a great catch to draw teen and adult readers alike is this -
"You can change the planet. Here's how."
True to this phrase, the book is a how-to guide for teens to not only save energy, recycle, and be informed buyers of locally made products, but also teaches the readers how to be educators on all things "Green."
One other interesting aspect of this book is its authors - teens and contributors from the social networking site, Myspace. Anyone and everyone who submitted suggestions and tips to the "Our Planet" member page, was quoted and cited within the pages of this book! What a great idea to get teens involved in planning for the future care of this planet and environment.
