Product Description
We all know about the Earth's environmental crisis, but there is someone who can truly make a difference: you. If you text your friends or chat with them online, download music to your iPod, or toss bottles and papers into recycling bins, you're already more eco-savvy than you think. It's just as easy to do even more to help save the earth, and Generation Green shows you how. This book: - Lays out the inside scoop on the biggest issues affecting our planet, such as global warming and overflowing landfills
- Offers dozens of tips on how to shop, dress, eat, and travel the green way
- Includes interviews with teens like you who are involved with fun, innovative green causes
- Shows that being environmentally conscious can be a natural part of your life -- and your generation's contribution to turning things around.
It doesn't matter if you can't vote or drive. Your efforts -- big or small -- will contribute to saving the planet. It's time for all of us to take action. It's time to go green!

Tosh Sivertsen proves that teens are smart enough and care enough to make the important changes necessary to save our planet. This easy to read, thought-provoking book should be a must-read for all families who care about the planet.

The environment is in peril right now, and change needs to happen right now.
But who can do anything to change this...to stop such a big problem? There is someone who can make a difference: you. You, me, and everyone we know! Find all this and more in GENERATION GREEN -
Easy to understand language explaining the issues affecting the planet.
TONS of tips, how-to guides, and advice for teens to be more green in their lives.
Interviews with teens on what THEY already do to be green and what YOU as the reader can try, too.
And inspiration and support for teens - possibly one of the strongest and most influential but overlooked groups of people on this planet - to begin making changes they want to see on Earth.
So next time you pick up a book like this and finish reading it, you might want to ask yourself - how Green can you go....how Green can you go....

Awesome Book December 1, 2008
T. Henderson (Mena, AR USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I completely loved this book. I loved the amount of ideas. They were little things that you could do to help. The whole book was very positive. It wasn't so much as "you shouldn't do this," it was "do this and be helpful." Also, the writing style of the book was very interesting. They were funny, and it made you want to read the book more.
VERY GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL BOOK FOR TEENS! November 30, 2008
D. Burns (Big Island, Hawaii, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My daughter is 15 and, as most kids her age, has more than just a passing interest in all things "green". This age group recognizes that the environmental issues of today, will be theirs to solve tomorrow if something doesn't change. Unlike the other reviewer who said that the sea isn't rising (heard of the drowning polar bears and the native villages on shore lines that have had to be completely relocated due to rising waters???)I believe sticking your head in the sand is not going to make it go away. Acknowledging the problem is the first step toward fixing it. Tosh and Linda Sivertsen, as a mother/son writing team confront the issues head on in a positive style. Not the usual doom and gloom. After reading their book, you come away feeling like you can make a difference. A great message for today's intelligent and thoughtful teen. Highly recommended!!
