Environmental Footprints

How big is your environmental footprint? This important series is about the footprints people leave behind them. But these are special footprints. These ?footprints? are the long and short term effects people have on the environment. By using examples that are part of a child?s own day-to-day life, this series introduces ecological sustainable in a child-friendly way while simultaneously providing easy tips on how to be green. Each book provides simple examples of how everyday uses of resources result in ?heavy? or ?light? environmental footprints. These examples present information and case studies that allow young students to consider the impact they have on the environment in their daily lives, and to consider how we can all change our ?footsteps? so we leave light ?footprint? for future sustainability. For examples, using too much water leaves a heavy footprint and can lead to water shortages. Rethink! Instead of running the tap and waiting for the water to get cold, keep a jug of water in the fridge for cold drinks.
