This review is part of the Green Books campaign.Today 200 bloggers take a stand to support books printed in an eco-friendly manner by simultaneously publishing reviews of 200 books printed on recycled or FSC-certified paper. By turning a spotlight on books printed using eco- friendly paper, we hope to raise the awareness of book buyers and encourage everyone to take the environment into consideration when purchasing books.
The campaign is organized for the second time by Eco-Libris, a green company working to make reading more sustainable. We invite you to join the discussion on "green" books and support books printed in an eco-friendly manner! A full list of participating blogs and links to their reviews is available on Eco-Libris website.
I was so excited to hear about this campaign. On my desk I have a huge stack of “dead trees” that I need to review. My chosen format to read is an e-book on my Kindle. I’m good with reading a book printed on recycled material also. It’s an extra touch that I think would make a huge difference if every publisher would do it. The pages feel the same to me. I don’t see why others haven’t embraced this yet.
I got to review the book Turtle Dolphin Dreams
.
I feel what we humans are doing to them (and all of them animals) is wrong and if things don’t change more, it may be irreparable. Let me give you the info on the book.
What if we shared planet Earth with other intelligent species? What if inter-species communication were really possible? Seek out some answers in Turtle Dolphin Dreams… An extremely unusual work of fiction in which three creatures, a turtle, a dolphin and a human link minds through dreams to bring a unique perception of the world. Most of the narration is by the Turtle (via the human) and Dolphin’s voice comes through both turtle and human, yet somehow this strange book hangs together and holds the reader’s attention.
We do share the planet with species that are highly intelligent and we are destroying them. IE: The Cove in Japan. Literally destroying them, not accidently as a by product of pollution or encroaching on their territory. Destroying them for nothing more than plain human greed and selfishness.
This book is wonderful. It comes at it from the angle of what would they say to us? What would these dolphins, the turtles, any of these creatures really, what would they say to us if they could tell us what they wanted us to know. These are living creatures who were in their areas before we came in to destroy them. These are living creatures who are part of the ecosystem that we take for granted, that we are destroying.
This book is thought provoking, it’s inspirational, it is for anyone who cares about anything to do with animals and our planet. Take a peak and see what the turtle, what the dolphin, what would they say to us if they could communicate with us. I loved this book. I want Jordan to read this book. I want all of my kids as they get older to read this book. To truly take a look around us and try to come up with a solution where we can co-exist without us hurting them so much.
