This is a unique and thought-provoking picture book on environmental protection. On a starlit night, Uncle Earth, 4.6 billion years old, quietly appears at a nine-year-old boy's window. Filled with concern for the future, he guides the boy to examine our seemingly convenient daily lives: where do the chemical detergents we use in our homes end up? Why are fast-fashion clothes so cheap yet so quickly discarded? This book avoids dry preaching, instead using vivid contrasts between the "past" and the "present" to closely connect macro-ecosystems such as the atmosphere, oceans, forests, and soil with everyone's daily lives. It not only reveals problems such as environmental pollution and resource waste but also provides many practical methods for improvement.
