A series of non-fiction books for reluctant readers that reflect the current concerns over environmental and ecological issues. This title explains simply the science behind what can be a very confusing subject. With an emphasis on the practical ways readers can help, such as not dropping rubbish and choosing non-intensively farmed food, it works as both a non-fiction reader, and a reference resource. Inside this book: what the main sources of pollution are; why air pollution is such a problem; why lights from our cities make it harder to gaze at the stars; what damage is caused by oil spills; how landfills work, and why noise is a type of pollution too.
