Protecting Our Planet: Set 2

Catastrophic events, such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, keep bringing issues of environmental destruction into the public eye. Each of these books addresses a specific environmental problem, from ozone depletion to acid rain to deforestation. The author offers a concise synopsis of the scope and sources of each problem. Then, he addresses what steps can be and are being taken to solve it. Every book also has helpful suggestions for what kids can do to make a difference. A handy glossary of key terms, index, Web site, and fun, engrossing sidebars will help kids become more conscious of the environment and how to preserve it.
