Paul Fleischman offers teens an environmental wake-up call and a tool kit for decoding the barrage of conflicting information confronting them.

We're living in an Ah-Ha moment. Take 250 years of human ingenuity. Add abundant fossil fuels. The result: a population and lifestyle never before seen. The downsides weren't visible for centuries, but now they are. Suddenly everything needs rethinking - suburbs, cars, fast food, cheap prices. It's a changed world.

This book explains it. Not with isolated facts, but the principles driving attitudes and events, from vested interests to denial to big-country syndrome. Because money is as important as molecules in the environment, science is joined with politics, history, and psychology to provide the briefing needed to comprehend the 21st century.

Extensive back matter, including a glossary, bibliography, and index, as well as numerous references to websites, provides further resources.

Only sunscreen stick I’ll use!
Fantastic sunscreen stick especially if you are acne prone! I usually steer clear of sunscreen sticks, but this one has super minimal ingredients and doesn’t contain any of the typical pore cloggers that other formulations tend to have. It’s non greasy but leaves a really pretty dewy finish on the skin. Has never broken me out and super great to throw in your purse for on the go! For reference, I am on Accutane so something like this is great to keep on hand for constant reapplication.

Effective sunscreen that feels and looks like satin on the skin
I purchased this product based on a curiosity about the brand. It was worth the gamble. It's easy to apply and feels cool to the touch (like satin on my face and arms). I also like the glow it leaves.

Best SPF on the go!
I use this everyday! I keep it in the car to re-apply. Does not affect makeup and feels like nothing going on. Love this!
