Beschreibung

Key Selling Points:

  • This book examines the things young people like to buy (and throw away), what those shopping habits mean for the planet and how they can use their purchasing power to do their part for the climate crisis.
  • Asks young people to think critically about their shopping habits and the effect they have on the environment in four key areas––clothing, technology, food and gifts.
  • The clothing industry creates 1.3 billion tons (1.2 metric tons) of greenhouse gas emissions every year. Thirty-eight billion plastic water bottles end up in US landfills every year. The average American keeps their cell phone for 34 months before getting a new one.
  • A study in the UK involving 2,000 parents found that, on average, their kids had four toys they had never played with. In the US each person produces 234 pounds (106 kilograms) of plastic waste per year, and 91% of plastic isn't recycled. Food takes up more space in US landfills than anything else (1.4 billion tons (1.3 metric tons) a year).
  • Erin Silver is an award-winning children's author. She has written Good Food, Bad Waste and In It to Win It, also in the Orca Think series, as well as Rush Hour in the Orca Footprints series.
