Synopsis
Every day we use machines that require energy. Cars and buses get energy from oil. Televisions and microwaves are powered by electricity made from coal. And furnaces rely on natural gas. Oil, coal, and natural gas are fossil fuels. Fossil fuels formed underground from plants and animals that died long ago. But did you know that fossil fuels pollute the planet? And they are non-renewable. This means they won't last forever. We must join together in the quest to find and use Earth-friendly energy sources. With engaging text and eye-catching images-plus a special Going Green section-this book tells you all about Earth-friendly energy and what you can do to promote it.

Earth Friendly Energy is a high quality book both in format and information. The pictures are clear, and their placement is creative and interesting. The book is informative about how we can help our planet, and it is innovative and charming while still presenting the facts. It is a good book for middle schoolers looking for some helpful advice and information on saving the Earth. Reviewer: Julia Robbins, Teen Reviewer
