A series of non-fiction books for reluctant readers that reflect the current concerns over environment and ecological issues. This title explains simply the science behind what can be a very confusing subject. With an emphasis on the practical ways readers can help, such as choosing sustainable food sources and not overusing water, it works as both a non-fiction reader and a reference resource. Inside this book: why habitats are in danger; what has changes to cause a problem; harmful effects of mining; farming; destuction of the rainforest; why the rainforest is so important to the Earth's climate, what climate change means, sustainable farming and how to create an artificial reef.
