The goal of Grow Your Own Tree Hugger is to bring fun and creativity into the often perceived heaviness of living green. Helping kids to think sustainably can evolve into being as commonplace as brushing their teeth or buckling their seat belts if they enjoy the process and understand the logic. After spending many hours with classrooms of kids, I have found that they are more than willing. This book is geared towards adults to interact with kids as parents, teachers, scout leaders, camp counselors, etc. and goes beyond "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle". With over 100 color photographs to grab kids' attention, printed on recycled paper, it offers innovative ways to enjoy hands-on activities with kids, while growing new sustainable living habits for their future. Each activity includes a mini-Chat Point for the youngest participants, while the Chat Points hold the main learning conversation starter. The Above and Beyond! sections are for adults and older kids who are inspired to stretch even further. Yes, being green can be tons of fun!
