When it comes to technological advances, many focus on our environment and the preservation of natural resources. The titles in the Green Tech series (4 titles) introduce some of these through colorful graphics, diagrams, photos, and bite-sized text that help readers understand different environmental issues and actions being taken to mitigate them. In Clean and Safe Water, readers will learn about how certain processes, such as water purification and desalinization, as well as the study of microplastics, can help protect our water supply. The graphics-forward design makes these books especially great for visual learners, and their simple breakdowns of numerous topics related to protecting the planet mark them as worthwhile surveys of an important subject.
