How can a cyclist in Paris help save the polar bears at the North Pole? What parts of the world are hidden inside a video game console? Through a series of questions that are less quirky than they seem, the book Why Orangutans Don’t Like Toothpaste explores the far-reaching impact of simple everyday actions on nature—whether close to home or on the other side of the planet. Without pessimism or moralizing, Emmanuelle Figueras offers a thoughtful and engaging introduction to topics like ecology, consumption, respect, and the preservation of nature and animal species.
