Be the Ultimate Friend of the Earth: 100 Questions to Boost Your Climate and Nature IQ

Description

Divided into ten important topics, and including questions set by some of the world's leading NGOs on recycling and reusing, green tourism and sustainable fashion, find out how much you really know about how our consumer habits and lifestyles are affecting the environment, and the positive changes we can make now to ensure we're all true friends of the earth. There's no shame here if you don't do as well as you hoped in these quizzes at the end of each chapter. But we need our moment of reckoning so that we can really absorb the important stuff in each section of this inspiring book - stories and tips that show the people, the projects and the places that are already living as if this planet was precious.
