Introduces environmental issues, but oversimplifies

My daughter really enjoys the sequel, "Heal the Earth," so we decided to order this one too. They're very similar. You tilt the book and pretend to fly the airplane to different locations. You press a button on the page to solve real life problems, like lack of clean water. It's a good way to introduce these problems, but the solutions are WAY oversimplified. (Just press a button!) One page is more interactive. It encourages you to touch the plastic floating in the ocean to clean it up. I wish more of the pages were like that.
