Get Real: What Kind of World Are You Buying? by Mara Rockliff

This book is geared toward young readers, but it gives them a ton to think about without "talking down" to kids in a preachy manner. The chapters focus on topics such as consumerism, where our food and clothing comes from, the global impact of how we spend our money, and how to make better (from a green/sustainability aspect) choices. I learned a great deal by reading this, and there are many other sources referenced that I'd also like to peruse. I recommend this book to students who would like to make a difference in the world. Anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the world, or who is not afraid to question the mainstream way of doing things, would really enjoy this book.
