My Thoughts:
My son is 12 and he still loves to do crafts and projects. Shhh, don’t tell his friends. He recently has gotten into drawing and writing. I’m very impressed with his abilities!
He leafed through the Disney Go Green Book and came up with a few ideas for a project they were doing about sustainable living. He had to figure out how much oil and electricity the school used and how they could cut back on that amount.
While he was looking for that, he got drawn in on the section on Goods and Services Footprint. One of his friends doesn’t ever wear blue jeans because of the HUGE footprint they have. Do you know how many gallons of water it takes to make one pair? I’m not telling you, you’ll have to look it up!
OK, I have to admit, I do love Minnie Mouse and this was my favorite page in the whole book! Some adults don’t even understand these concepts!
The crafts in the book are fun and easy, but a little too young for a 12 year-old. I would recommend this book for any family with kids that LOVE Disney and need to learn how to “Go Green” with any part of their lives!
Let me leave you with this little Did you know? box from the book:
