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.Binding Type: Paperback

Fits my needs
Color: Light blue, Color: Light blue
I purchased this specifically for the garbage disposal side of my kitchen sink. I only needed it to hold my sink stopper. I haven't used th basket yet, but will probably use it for a steel scrubber. It's a little on the small side, but it works great for me.

Perfect size
Color: Black
Fits the little spot we have in our kitchen very well. I tend to not measure and just hope for the best. Easy to clean and hasn't rusted yet. Does a good job of draining and letting things flow down

Pure Perfection!
Color: Black
Love this addition to my sink! It holds dishwashing liquid, hand soap pump, spounges, scrapers, and dish rag with room to spare. Any liquid will drain from the multi-directional spout right into your sink. The materials are all metal, no flimsy plastic dish rag holder.

Well made and sturdy.
Color: Black
Very sturdy and well made. Doesn't slide around every time you touch the soap dispensers like our last one.
