Booklist Review for Traveling Green
Up-to-date statistics drive the urgent arguments in this lively photo-essay in the Going Green series. Bright, full-color pictures support the facts and the call to readers to walk, cycle, and use public transport to cut down on greenhouse gases, which can increase global warming. New York City gets praise for its highly accessible subway system that serves a huge population, and photos show the packed trains with a lively mix of passengers. Other spreads show soldiers driving an electric car around an army base in Germany. Planes may be the fastest type of transportation, but they are also the worst for the environment (“quick and dirty”). Today’s young conservationists will welcome the statistics, images, and examples of pollution and its solutions, which many adults have ignored for too long.
