Book Description

Release Date: Sep 25 2007 | Series: Eden Project Books
George is determined to save the world by lunchtime but he’s not quite sure how. Grandpa suggests they start by recycling his yoghurt container, putting his banana peel in the compost pile, and hanging the washing to dry in the sun.

On his bike, George discovers many more ways he can help save the world.

A trip to the recycling bank, charity shop and local farmers’ market shows how recycling and reusing materials, and using less gas and more produce, can really help save the world. George even gets a favourite toy fixed!

Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book; teaches a great lesson Feb 10 2011

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We got this book for our daughter after visiting "The Magic House" in Saint Louis which had an exhibit based on this book. It teaches a great lesson about "Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling"; and building those principles into your everyday decisions and actions.

5.0 out of 5 stars George is another kid in class now! May 9 2009
By Tania Grosz Blueh - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Somehow I found this book, which seemed pretty fun to teach the R's. Well, It definately made a change in the way kids looked at the whole "what can I do?" situation.
Now, we talk about George like if he was one of the classmates.We go and ask him whrn we don't know what to do and whenever we forget something related with taking care of the planet. It's a MUST book for lower school children!
