Take Heart, Take Action

Description

We don't know what the future holds, but there are things we can do to make a positive impact on the world today. From saving water and protecting nature to having gratitude, here are twenty conversation starters to remind us we have the power to make our Earth a better place. Renowned Australian illustrator, Beci Orpin, created this book for anyone who wants to create a more openhearted and sustainable world.

Strong yet simple, colourful graphics fill this book, just one per page, challenging the reader to think about what the author means by them. Each relays important actions that enable all of us to help make the world a better place and look after it for future generations. On the last two pages Beci Orpin expands on each idea and offers practical suggestions that we can all easily achieve. * WA [PRINT] West Australian *
