Product Description
Master photographer and Global Green leader, Sebastian Copeland, issues a global clarion call in his latest book Antarctica: A Call to Action, the sequel to his bestselling Antarctica: The Global Warning. Copeland’s awe-inspiring images of the frozen continent capture the beauty of the glaciers, biodiversity, and wild wide seas of the Drake. Along with exceptional new photographs, Antarctica: A Call To Action is a concise and visually compelling discussion about global warming with a hopeful and helpful new take: each of us can make a positive difference through small changes. With insightful commentary, the purity of undoctored photographs and "takeaways" provide readers with simple lifestyle changes to help preserve Antarctica’s fragile ecosystem. A highly accessible and hopeful book, Antarctica: A Call to Action will inspire everyone to save this magnificent continent for future generations.
Simple changes to save Antarctica, and the planet:
WASH COLD — Washing laundry in cold instead of warm water once a week saves 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere per year.
DRIVE LESS — Five miles less driving per week eliminates 900 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
SHOWERS — Taking showers instead of baths eliminates 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

| Customer Reviews: A beautiful portrait of Antarctica for young people June 28, 2009 P. Blanton (Pittsboro, NC USA) This book is mostly photographs, taken by Sebastian Copeland during a recent voyage to Antarctica. There is little text, so a child interested more in pictures, and especially one interested in photography, can revel in the views he gives us of this continent. His love and concern for the coldest places of our world comes through loud and clear.
