action as they learn how our daily choices affect the climate and the planet.
Inspiring and practical, this is a guide to low impact living that

food on the shelves, the soft drink in the store and the chemicals under the
sink all take on new meaning, and behaviour change follows when the moment is

habits and affect our friends, thus contributing to the big changes needed
for a healthier planet and sustainable future. Put it to work in your school, community, NGO and share it with
