Ebook launched to help climate change

A free online book outlining 20 simple things children can do to help the
environment in their own backyard is being launched on Sunday.
Climate Change In My Backyard is the brainchild of the book's sponsor Ron Smith and
environmentalist Bob Winters and can be accessed on www.thelittlegreenbooks.com.
Some of the ideas put forward in the 27-page book are composting garden waste,
setting up a worm farm, recruiting a couple of chickens to eat food scraps while
fertilising the garden, and installing a tap timer.
Mr Smith says the book is aimed at getting parents involved in fun projects with
their children and developing life skills and attitudes which will help them protect
the environment and ensure a healthy planet for their own children.
"We are using the digital highway - the most environmental way - to provide our book
to as many children parents, teachers and politicians as possible."
