Happy Friday! Happy April! It sure doesn't feel like spring. March did not go out "like a lamb," as the old adage suggests. Our weather has been a bit crazy, and this is a nice segue into our featured title. Fact Friday features Kids Fight Climate Change: Act Now to Be a #2minutesuperhero by Martin Dorey and illustrated by Tim Wesson. This book is part of the #2minutesuperhero series, which is aimed at encouraging young people to become environmentally aware.
The history and science of climate change are explained in the introduction. The author has created seventeen missions that can be accomplished in under two minutes by a young person, mostly without the help of an adult. Some are more easily accomplished than others and range in points from five to twenty. Each are designed to make the reader more environmentally aware and to encourage changing habits such as, do you really need a ride to school each day? Can you walk or perhaps car-pool? Did you know that even your choice of clothing can have an impact on the environment?
The author is an avid surfer and founder of the #2minutebeachclean movement. What's two minutes out of your day? Think about it. If each of us took two or more minutes out of each day to do something for the environment, that could add up quickly to something positive for all of us.
