He\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippet:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bethechangecalltokids1-595x383.jpg?resize=525%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17081\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nonfiction.monday.jpg?resize=158%2C111\" alt=\"Nonfiction Monday\" width=\"158\" height=\"111\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nonfiction Monday!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright \u00a9 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/asuen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anastasia Suen<\/a> All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be the Change: Rob Greenfield\u2019s Call to Kids&#8211;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\u2019s willing to go to extremes to show kids how our way of life is causing it harm.
