Short & Sweet:
The pictures drew me to this book. Published by Abrams Books for Young Readers, it is everything an Abrams books should be.
The environmental tips are the standard ones, eat local, recycle etc, but there are some interesting facts that I was not aware of. (For example, over 12 million acres of forest is used as fuel every year to dry tobacco.)
Ironically, it does not appear that any environmentally friendly papers or ink were used to create the book, and there are not any sources provided for the included facts.

Interesting facts mixed with reinforcement of standard earth-saving ideas. I felt horribly guilty when I forgot my reusable bags at the grocery story today after reading this just last night. Beautiful photographs within as well.
