Everything we do uses resources from our planet. The problem is we are consuming far more of these resources than Earth's environment can replace. But we can help put Earth back in balance through sustainable living. This means living in such a way that we use only what we need from the environment without taking more than our share. Sustainable Living explores ideas such as finding ways to use less water every day, growing some of our own food, using less electricity around the house, and that caring for the Earth is the responsibility of every one of us.Covering subjects from the Humanities curriculum the Mac Australia Topics books combine brilliant photography and visual literacy elements with authoritative text matched to students' reading ability.Text Type: Information Report & Reading age: 9.5-12 yrs.
