What’s It Like Living Green?: Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live

User Reviews

I have to admit that I don't recycle as much as I should be doing. We recycle cans, and paper products but after reading this book there are a lot more things and ways that my family can recycle and help out not to clutter up our Earth.

There are 6 parts of this book: What's it like, Living Green? , Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Responsible for our Earth and Kids teaching kids by the way they live. In the first part there is a 2 page green quiz... I have to say I did pretty well with the quiz but I could be doing better.

This book is a wonderful way to read about all the different ways you can recycle and great tips on ways to be Green. As you read this book you will learn about how people have been recycling and their tips on how you can do that also. This book has all kinds of tips from composting to water conservation.

I defiantly would recommend this book for anyone who is wanting to learn about going green and what they can do to help be a part of keeping this Earth clean. We only have one Earth its not like we can move to the moon when we fill the Earth up. This book has opened my eyes that I can be doing a whole lot more to recycle, reuse and conserve what I have. -- Chrissy's World Of Books - Chrissy's Reviews

This is a great book. It isn't preachy. It doesn't tell kids (and adults) what they should do to help save the world. It shows things other people are doing. It has wonderful ideas and great examples of what it's like to live Green. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

When getting thin and healthy became the craze, "Less Is More" became the credo. "Green is Cool" is the new credo that author Jill Vanderwood brings to the forefront with her new, exciting best seller "What's It Like Living Green". This book establishes the "new cool" by introducing us to a series of "cutting edge" young people who are putting the planet first, ahead of fashion, money, fast cars, travel, and all of the other outdated definitions of "cool".
Our obsession with the beauty of heavenly bodies is now shifting towards our own neglected but beautiful planet. We are tired of everybody treating our global mansion like it is somebody else's job to keep it clean. If you are going to live here, you are going to need to "do your share". Jill Vanderwoods team of co-authors are leading by example as they show us new and innovative ways to "Think Green" in our everyday actions and activities. With her past endeavors directed towards a younger audience, Jill has launched her writing career into new and exciting territory as she expands her audience to include everybody. You see, if we don't get in line with her passion and begin to care for our planet, there won't be one left to care for. And that will present a problem for readers of all ages.
Of course it is always easier to convey new ways of thinking to a younger audience. Therefore, hopefully kids, teens, and young adults everywhere will be the first to join Jill's "Green Team". The topic of this book is an original idea whose time has come. Jill has done a fantastic job of putting together a great anthology of stories about young people who knew this time was coming and took action long before the presses fired up this best seller. Thanks Jill for getting all of their stories out there into book-land for all of us to see and appreciate. If there has ever been a "read and take action" book, this one is it!

This is the coolest book for kids and adults who are trying to save our planet. Jill Vanderwood has done an amazing job of collecting real stories about every day kids making a huge difference for our planet, plus she has good advice on what we can do to live green.
