YOU ARE HERE Exposing the Vital Link Between What We Do and What That Does to Our Planet

Thomas Kostigen, coauthor of THE GREEN BOOK: THE EVERYDAY GUIDE TO SAVING THE PLANET ONE SIMPLE STEP AT A TIME, endeavors to bring home his point that the little things we do matter to our environment by visiting some of the most affected and endangered places on the planet. Kostigen narrates his own book in an earnest, easy-to-understand voice. Overall, his narration works well for this first-person travel narrative. He occasionally rushes his words, mostly at the beginning of the book. And, like many environmental authors, he offers up an overwhelming series of appalling statistics, which can be difficult for the listener to absorb. But his adventures and metaphors are memorable.
