About this book
From the creators of the very popular The Funny Life of Teachers, Pets et al, comes a funny guide to saving the planet. Written by James Campbell, who is practising what he preaches, this is full of tips on what you can do, along with inspirational heroes, like Greta Thunberg and Buckminster Fuller, who designed everything for the good of others. The brilliant illustrations by Rob Jones add humour, and funny flights of fancy, in what is ultimately a serious book. (Do read it out of order, as recommended by the author, or the first half is inevitably somewhat bleak.) There is a lot of silliness, but a lot of serious advice and suggestions, and ultimately the message is that we can turn things around. Bound to inspire young eco-warriors everywhere.
