The latest captivating title in the popular "Boy Mechanic" series returns to a simpler time when recycling, repurposing and 'repair, not replace,' were a part of everyday life. Back then, no one spoke about 'going green' - they just did it as a matter of course. "The Boy Mechanic Saves the World" (One Project at a Time) comes from that era and it presents eco-friendly, thrifty and really cool activities. From turning ketchup bottles into nifty soap dispensers and building a window greenhouse for plants to making a power-generating windmill, it features useful shortcuts for conserving our resources.
