Book Description
We follow three students in the same classroom and their families - one urban without a car, one suburban with several cars and a big house, and one rural, with a mini-farm - as they all do what they can to "go green." There are over 100 Actions that families can take. The left side of every two-page spread tells the story of that action in English and Spanish, and the right side includes a coloring book for the younger kids and a word game or puzzle for the older kids about the action. This book is designed as the portal to an extensive web site that includes all the details on how to effectively implement each of the 100+ actions. We intend for families to go through The Green Actioneers Workbook, to find things they can do to reduce their carbon and water footprints, and to work on their own or with other families in their community to do as much as they can to live sustainably. The book will be distributed through Family Night in schools nationwide, giving a copy to each family that attends and leaving plenty behind for families that did not attend Family Night.
