BOOK REVIEW:
I loved this wonderful book. Disney Go Green: A Family Guide to a Sustainable Lifestyle is wonderfully laid out and easily worded so to help modern families learn the importance of the environment via familiar Disney Characters with easy to understand terms that a family can understand about how to begin small towards their goal to help the world they live in be around for future generations.
I recall in my early twenties wanting to become more nature / earth aware, but not knowing where to start. I and my family have learned so much from being involved on my son's Cub Scout pack, and I could see many of the same basic principles in this easy to read and understand book. I loved the color scheme. As a former graphic designer myself, I enjoyed the colors and happy characters as I read from page to page.
It is very important that our future generations learn about caring for our planet for the generations to come. This book is a great place to start educating children (or even adults that love Mickey Mouse, haha).
Tina of useful information, crafts, and all the where and how to get started. I was so lucky to receive this book free for an honest review. It is one of the most useful books I have read in a while.
