The earth gives us many things: air, water, shelter, food and energy. We cannot live without these, but we have to use them carefully, to make sure they last, and that we do not harm the world around us.
Almost everyone uses transport every day. We take cars, buses, trains or bicycles to get to school or work. People fly between countries in planes, and cargo goes round the world in ships.
'Earth Alert!: Transport' tells you about:
- How transport makes grids and networks
- The ways that different kinds of transport affect the environment
- What we can do about pollution
- How to make transport better in the future.
Learning about making journeys is helped by interesting colour pictures, many examples, and some practical activities.
