"This is Larry Gonick's witty approach to describe what's happened, is happening, and will happen to the environment.
It inspired me to take actions however small to decelerate the desctruction to mother earth that human beings have been doing.
The sections about how to feed the entire human population, abundant crops that go to animal farms, encouraging to feed on local food, avoiding fastfood - those are my favorites."
"Buku jenaka yang menyingkap topik-topik lingkungan, mulai dari daur kimia, jaring-jaring makanan, evolusi, pembabatan hutan, sampah, efek rumah kaca, sampai penghematan energi."
