(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Alex Paterson. This practical guide briefly reviews the causes of climate change and common misconceptions about the issue before presenting solutions that range from adjusting personal habits to organizing community projects. Short chapters with attention-grabbing titles like "Be Annoying" (on writing to congressional representatives) and "Eat Your Neighbors" (about buying local, seasonal produce) are accompanied by a Planet-O-Meter rating of each activity's environmental impact, cost, and difficulty. Thomas's conversational tone balances the urgent danger of climate change with encouragement to actively confront the crisis, while black-and-white cartoons throughout reinforce the text's energy and humor. An index is appended.
