Read about what kids and young people around the world are doing to save the planet by protecting its largest ecosystem: the ocean!

What’s an Environmentor? Someone smart, persistent, and kind hearted. Someone who shares their knowledge and experience to help others. Someone who looks for solutions instead of complaining about problems. Someone like Captain Charles Moore, who discovered a floating collection of plastic waste in the middle of the ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. His research on the environment inspired thousands to save the oceans. This book is an introduction to fifteen people around the world who are taking action in their own way. 

Are you an Environmentor in the making? How far could you go by using what you know? How many people could you affect, and what kind of difference would that make? As you’ll see in this book, the actions of just one person can echo around the world for years to come.
