What's the Point of Being Green?

Author: Jacqui Bailey

This book contains a huge amount of information about the whole global-degeneration issue and many challenges to get a grip on the situation. Trouble is, though, it’s written in a for bright young things style (pages 7 and 8 include three sentences beginning ‘Okay’) and, apart from illustrative photographs, the cartoon-style pictures appear to trivialise the text at every turn. So it’s a blessing, but a somewhat mixed one – an authoritative source book dressed up as a bit of fun, which could be just what its target audience will enjoy and from which it, and we in the long run, may profit.
