As concern over climate change grows, all sections of society must participate in corrective action. Peter Suchmann believes that young people should be involved by understanding the issues and creating awareness in their communities. The "Unstoppable" Student Workbook meets this need admirably. The author suggests that students set up Earth Action Clubs in schools, with a cycle of ten weekly meetings. The structure for these meetings is provided. Where they exist, Transition Town Groups in the area can provide additional support. The guide covers the process of setting up a group, beginning with the election of office bearers and project leaders, setting goals, and formulating a mission statement. What follows is the need to find a facilitator, secure funding, keep proper records, and recruit new members. Useful suggestions include conducting a green audit of your school, covering areas such as waste management and limiting energy usage. Another tip is to replace disposable plastic water bottles with reusable metal containers or start a garden. Awards can be presented to deserving participants to recognize their contributions. The group can host debates, write to newspaper editors, and counter industry disinformation or media bias.
