Several things are unique.
In this book we have profiled the lives of immigrants who work in the field of environmental education and protection. We answer a number of questions about each person. These immigrants have come to America and successfully made a new life for themselves, as our students hope to do. They serve as an inspiration, both personally and professionally, to all who use this textbook. Second, from promoting recycling to using hazardous household chemicals safely, from reducing indoor air pollution to responsible hunting and fishing, from using outdoor recreational areas in Minnesota to protecting those areas for future generations, it will help students to understand how to live an environmentally friendly life in Minnesota.
