Environmental Disaster Alert!

Environmental Disaster Alert! probes the causes and effects of greenhouse gases, acid rain, oil spills, air pollution, and other human-caused disasters. Topics include: - the human activities that are causing the destruction of the ozone layer, and the results of this damage - ways that organizations such as Greenpeace and Pollution Probe try to prevent environmental disasters - methods used to recover from environmental disasters, such as re-planting forests, re-stocking formerly contaminated lakes, and the clean-up of chemical spills - the effects of environmental disasters on our natural resources, animals, plants, and humans - ways that scientists predict environmental disasters, and potential disasters that have been avoided as a result

Reviews

[Chloe A. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think this book shows a lot about how what people do effects the environment. For example, in the book the author keeps telling the reader things like- because people do______, then__________ happens. I recommend this book to grades 3+ so that people can have fun learning about the environment.
