Boken Rädda jorden - vetenskapliga experiment

If you are looking for a fun way to teach your children about our impact on this planet then “Save the Earth Science Experiments, Science Fair Projects for Eco-Kids” by Elizabeth Snoke Harris, is the book for you.

This fun book is filled with experiments to get you (and the kids) thinking. The book begins with an introduction to problems occurring in the world which impact our global well-being. It is then followed by a section on how to put together an effective Science Fair Project and more than 20 experiments that are related to our current environmental concerns.

Some garbage facts listed in the book are:

• Throughout the world, urban residents generate up to three times as much solid waste as rural residents.

• The United States is the world’s top trasher, throwing away twice the average of most other industrialized countries. (And we thought China was bad?)

• The United States has nearly tripled its trash production since 1960. Thirty-two percent of the trash is recovered and recycled or composted, 14% is burned at combustion facilities, and the remaining 54% is put in landfills.

A green book which should find its place in every household…
