Eco-Rangers Save the Planet : Earth-Friendly Missions For Green Kiwis order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Maria Gill Illustrated by Vivienne Lingard
In Stock: 2
Customer Order Reference:
Structured as a series of rangers' missions, this excellent book educates intermediate-age children (and their families)about the environmental issues facing them today, and encourages them to make informed choices on a range of subjects from saving energy and water to using transport, technology and products. The topics are divided thematically into three sections covering a) local New Zealand issues, such as pollution, b) global issues, such as climate change, and c) projects (such as how to make a compost heap or recycle cardboard and plastic into new products). Each topic contains a introduction to the subject, 15-20 suggestions for things they can do to help 'save the world', illustrations, jokes, quotes and useful website addresses for further information. Each of the first 12 topics also contains an inspirational story about an 'eco hero' who has contributed an outstanding achievement to the environment.

Growing Green : A young person's guide to taking care of the planet order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each
Hardback
Author: Christina Goodings

Customer Order Reference:
This attractive book will be appreciated for its warm exploration of a perenially important theme. The book consists of colourful pictures of a child doing the small things that underpin an environmentally gentle lifestyle - with an emphasis on taking care of small creatures and their habitats and nurturing seeds and seedlings - along with brief captions (with a hint of humour), to provide a useful 'talkabout' book. The whole concept is grounded in the clearly stated awareness that this world is sacred: God's creation.
