My Earth, My Home: A Kids Book About Why Protecting the Planet Matters: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "My Earth, My Home: A Kids Book About Why Protecting the Planet Matters" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

As head of her celebrity sisters production company, Gesine Bullock-Prado had a closet full of designer clothes and the ear of all the influential studio heads, but she was miserable. The only solace she found was in her secret hobby, baking. With every sugary, buttery confection to emerge from her oven, Gesine took one-step away from her glittering, empty existence, and one-step closer to her true destiny. Before long, she and her husband had left the trappings of their Hollywood lifestyle behind, and opened their dream bakery Gesine Confectionary in the stunning Vermont mountains. And, they never looked back.
Starting Over, One Cake at a Time follows Gesines journey from sugar-obsessed child to miserable, awkward Hollywood insider to reluctant master baker. Chock-full of eccentric characters, beautifully detailed descriptions of her baking process, ceaselessly funny renditions of Hollywood nonsense, and recipes, the ingredients of her story will appeal to anyone, who has ever considered leaving the life they know and completely starting over.

Dear Reader,

If you have chosen this book, I am pretty sure you are

interested in protecting our Earth and learning about all

the ways that we can help.

I am both a mom and a former kid. We grown-ups have

a big responsibility to clean up our environment and make

a plan for the future, but I also know that adults often need

lots of help from kids and this messy planet thing is a

BIG job.

Making good choices for our Earth is like caring for

our homes and our bodies. Even though it may be easier to

pretend its not a big deal, talking and learning about how

we can care for our environment right now will make a

better future for all of us.

I hope this book helps you understand why its so

important to love and protect our Earth. Its the only home

we have and we can all make a difference!

Yolanda Kondonassis

Did

you

know

that

our

Earth

round?

Do you know what happens

when your home is a round planet?

It means that if you were to ride a bike

in a straight line for a VERY, VERY, VERY,

VERY, VERY long time, you would end up...

Of course you did!

...right back where you started!

24,902 MILES

AROUND THE GLOBE

What if your house was round?

What if your round house got messy?

What if you didnt feel like cleaning up that mess

in your round house and you pushed it away

so you wouldnt have to look at it?

Where would that mess end up?

Right

back

your

house!

YUCK!

O ur Earth has gotten messy. What should we do?

Earth is a lot like

a round house,

Only MUCH, MUCH, MUCH

BIGGER!

Clean it up!

REDUCE

REUSE

RECYCLE

When we face a new

challenge, it helps to know

as much as we can

about the problem

so we can fix it.

What makes our Earth messy?

C ars, trucks, and factories make pollution,_

a mixture of dirty gases and liquids that goes out into

the air and into our rivers, lakes, and oceans.

What if we just try not to live

next to a highway or a factory?

Would that keep pollution away from us?

Of course not!

Pollution goes up into the sky

and forms a blanket of gas that holds heat

within Earths atmosphere.

That makes our whole Earth

warmer and leads to...

problems

like...

melting polar ice caps...

rising

sea

levels...

...and extreme

weather patterns.

Scientists call

this warming of our

Earths temperature

CLIMATE CHANGE.

Pollution also

comes back down

to Earth as rain,

and factories sometimes

release waste into our

rivers, lakes, and oceans.

This affects not only our water,

but our plants and animals as well.

What happens when

we flip on a light,

watch TV,

use the washing machine,

or turn on a computer?

Is it some kind of

MAGIC?

That cord we plug into the wall

connects to a big supply source

that provides energy for millions of people.

Of course not!

Its great to have

the energy we need,

but creating most kinds of

energy makes pollution and

uses up lots of natural resources.

Thats why its important

to use only the energy

we really need

and think of ways to

use even less.

What happens when

we crumple up

a plastic juice bottle

and

throw it away?

O r wad up

a piece of paper

and toss it into

the garbage can?

Does our trash just disappear

into thin air poof! and get

replaced by fresh new things?

Trash is either burned

or dumped into gigantic

holes in the ground

called landfills.

f course not!

Throwing less stuff

away and recycling

our trash are two

big ways we can help

protect our Earth.

In fact, recycling

is a bit like

real-life magic!

Recycled paper is made into books,

magazines, folders, boxes, bags, tissues,

paper towels, and of course, new paper.

Recycled aluminum Cans are turned

into new cans, foil, construction materials,

and even car parts.

Recycled plastic bottles can become

all sorts of things like carpet, clothing,

picnic tables, sleeping bags, and flower pots.

Used glass can be recycled into new glass

over and over again because it never loses its

strength!

What could you recycle today?

When we reduce, reuse, and recycle,

fewer trees are chopped down

and thats good for our Earth.

Plus, we need our trees to eat up pollution

and help keep our air clean.

Did you know trees can do that?

Earths forests are also home to many

important animals and plants that

help keep our world in balance.

Is our Earth too messy to clean up?

Of Course Not!

But we need a plan and

we all need to help.

MESSY PLANET ACTION PLAN

How many things on the following list can you do?
