It is great for me, as a kid, to know that I am the future and am in charge of saving it.
I am adding this one because my ten year old loves it so. She has decided to buy her own copy after checking one out from the library repeatedly. She has implemented some of the ideas and is eager to help us all do more.
I read this book as a child, and it made a huge impact on me.
I unearthed a 1990s copy of this book while visiting family for the holidays. I was curious about what this copy might suggest, how the dialogue has since changed and how it has not.

Leí este libro básicamente como un chiste a mí misma y al chico que me lo dio. No es malo, de hecho tiene buenos consejos y está escrito de una manera entretenida, pero era difícil identificarse con los niños estadounidenses de los 90' a los que está dirigido.

Not what I was expecting. The book did not contain simple everyday solutions as I was hoping: it's more like a How-to book that is too complicated, not intellectually stimulating, and a little depressing

This book help to shape who I am today. No Joke!
I read this book as a kid and it had a big impact on my lifelong interest in ecology and the environment.
Good for kids to realize that what ever little they can do, it can still have an impact.
Not just for kids! Education, attitude, and implementation in our daily lives is the first step toward real sustainability, and it's never too late to start.
