Captain Grottbuster versus the Grey World Mike Pearce

Over the last ten years there has been a move to make people more responsible for their environment and surroundings. The book 'Limits to Growth' and Local Agenda 21 initiative helped to kick start this process and today with education initiatives, TV and publicity many people are beginning to realise that there is a limit to the ways we can treat our planet without destroying it for future generations. There are still many who are not sure what they can do and some carry on regardless of the threats and changes that are happening. Many of our actions now and in the past are believed by some to have helped accelerate climate change. Even if this is not so, deforestation and concreting land has increased flooding, mineral resources are limited and the current threat of obesity and associated disorders is a danger for future generations. Captain Grottbuster, although a small and insignificant creature in this short book, has indicated ways to address this and wants you, the reader, to choose some things you can change. Remember every little action, like the butterfly effect, can have an enormous impact overall on the quality of life and climate change and positive actions are winners. This book can be used also by schools etc. to help examine some of the environmental issues present today.
