Be the Change: Rob Greenfield’s Call to Kids–Making a Difference in a Messed-Up World
by Rob Greenfield (Author) and Antonia Banyard (Author)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Rob Greenfield loves this planet, and he’s willing to go to extremes to show kids how our way of life is causing it harm. He’s walked around New York City dressed in his own garbage, cycled across the U.S. on a bamboo bike (three times), and survived one year on food he foraged or grew himself. For Rob, it’s all worth it: he brings attention to important topics like food and water waste; our dependency on fossil fuels; our piles of stuff (and the energy required to produce it); and our disconnection from community and the wider world. In this book for ages 8 to 12, Rob uses his own experiences to show kids that no one is too young to make a difference, and no action is too small to make a start.
