A little while ago I bought my neice a Greenpeace book about being a young green consumer and she took great delight in shaming her mum with all the non-green things she does.

This is primarily a book for children, but greenish grown-ups will get a laugh out of it. My stepfather thought the Dad in the book was based on him. Fortunately he was quite pleased. I don't know what other people think, but I'd be a worried puppy if I was growing up in these troubling times. Adults can cope (just about) with terrifying ideas like the weather changing and sea levels rising, because we have a certain amount of faith in our power to do something about it. Kids are more likely to lie awake at night worrying, then just put the whole thing out of their minds. I wrote How to Turn Your Parents Green so kids could have some fun, harrass their mums and dads and teachers a bit, get people talking and feel able to do something about the world's problems. I had fun doing it too. For more in a similar vein, check out my blog, <a href="http://howtoturnyourparentsgreen.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">howtoturnyourparentsgreen.blogspot.com</a>. Crikey, better get blogging... Thanks for a thoughtful review. This is primarily a book for children, but greenish grown-ups will get a laugh out of it.
