Stop Water Waste

Reviews

[Peacegal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stop Water Waste is much more in-depth than most youth environmental books. This would be a fine addition to grade school libraries, and classroom lessons on conservation.

(The author mentioned the fact that agricultural runoff can contaminate waterways, but does not discuss changes that may be made to the diet in order to save water.)
