Nonfiction Monday is hosted today by Wrapped in Foil.
My selection is "Heroes of the Environment: true stories of people who are helping to protect our planet" written by Harriet Rohmer and illustrated by Julie McLaughlin.
The names of these 12 conservationists may not be familiar, but they are making a difference in their communities from Alaska to Mexico City. Maps and photographs highlight the work of teens and adults as they tackle environmental and social issues on a local level: safe disposal of technological waste, mining, alternative energy, pollution and recycling to name a few. The book concludes with suggestions about how readers can get involved in their communities.
