| The correct information for this coming January's Planet Stewards Book Club meeting is below. Please trash our announcement sent earlier today. Our sincere apologies for any confusion. The Holidays are a great time to catch up your reading. We recommend Mark Kurlansky's World Without Fish: When you're done, join us Tuesday, January 14th at 7:00 p.m. ET to discuss it at our Book Club Meeting! All Are Welcome! You don't have to have read the book to join in the discussion - though it does help ;>D  World Without Fish connects all the dots—biology, economics, evolution, politics, climate, history, culture, food, and nutrition—in a way that kids can really understand. It describes how the fish we most commonly eat, including tuna, salmon, cod, and swordfish, could disappear within 50 years, and the domino effect it would have—oceans teeming with jellyfish and turning pinkish orange from algal blooms; seabirds disappearing, then reptiles, then mammals. It describes the back-and-forth dynamic of fishermen and scientists. It covers the effects of industrialized fishing, and how bottom-dragging nets are turning the ocean floor into a desert. The answer? Support sustainable fishing. World Without Fish tells kids exactly what they can do: Find out where those fish sticks come from. Tell your parents what's good to buy, and what's not. Ask the waiter if the fish on the menu is line-caught And follow simple rules: Use less plastic, and never eat endangered fish like bluefin tuna. Interwoven with the book is a 12-page full-color graphic novel. Each beautifully illustrated chapter opener links to form a larger fictional story that complements the text. Hand in hand, they create a Silent Spring for a new generation. Listen to an Audio "short" of chapter one. |  |
