Great Book: "All the Way to the Ocean"



Hello All,

A friend of SFNYC's just hipped us to a really great children's book.
It's called: "All the Way to the Ocean"- by Joel Harper.
It's about two boys who learn about how anything thrown into the street or the gutter eventually makes its way to the ocean.
After learning this, they enlist the help of their classmates and work together to clean up the streets and gutters. Great message.





And here's something really nice: By teaming up with Living Tree Paper Company and printing the book on recycled paper, the author was able to save:

Over 9000 gallons of water.
22 trees.
Nearly 1000 pounds of solid waste.
1,900 pounds of greenhouse gasses.
4,443.5 kilowatt hours of electricity.

And, they printed the book with soy ink!

Nice!

Well done, Joel Harper!
(why do you not have a wiki page?)

Love,

- Jackson
