Features: Kids, do you know how the greenhouse effect occurs? What is the El Ni?o phenomenon? What is eutrophication? How are red tides formed? What is the relationship between species extinction and environmental degradation?
This book, as an invaluable extracurricular environmental science textbook, vividly and thoroughly answers the environmental questions that kids are very concerned about, thereby fostering the awareness of caring for the environment starting from oneself.
Grey skies, bare land, rolling sandstorms, and rampant floods and tsunamis—depletion of water and forest resources, land desertification, air pollution, global warming, ozone layer depletion, and species extinction—how were all these caused? Is the ecological environment we depend on truly sick? Where have the once blue skies, lush green grasslands, babbling brooks, and chirping birds gone? What can we do to help our planet face the environmental crisis it is encountering? I believe every child will find their own answers after reading this book.
