With Spring Break behind us, say goodbye to Girls Gone Wild and hello to Girls Gone Green! This new book is an inspirational collection of stories about real girls using their lives, time and talents to make a difference in the environment (and the world!) every day. Whether they’re organizing beach cleanups, creating non-tox cosmetics or encouraging their community to switch to wind power, these green gals walk with tiny footprints and will inspire you to do the same. The book’s author, Lynn Hirshfield, has worked on some of our favorite Green Screen picks, like Food, Inc. and An Inconvenient Truth, which inspired her to write the book. Girls Gone Green is page after page of bright colors, fun stories and lots of great tips and ideas on how to become greener girls and guys ourselves. Whether you’re a tween, a teen or somewhere beyond, we think you’ll find this book to be as sassy and cool as we did. Check it out!
