    We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, lack of self-discipline and polarization. Just look at what happened in recent events at the White House! Other examples are the Covid Tanker blockade, destructive rioting in cities, hospitals coming under siege, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.... all were and are avoidable. 
Staple Society results from succeeding constructive and protective concepts meeting obligations which generally follow traditions aimed at accepted common responsibilities. 
Rob Howat discusses and explores these social building blocks in these four books with facts and examples. He shows that for society and the law to work responsibilities must be fulfilled before meaningful rights can follow. He suggests the ongoing need for calm discussion, research and reviews, an aim for balance, and well-understood and universally agreed 'ground rules' for educational pursuits. 
The best time to open calm discussions with a goal to start building change is now, using constructive philosophy, logic, and religious proven wisdom. This set of books will greatly simplify and assist in building that deeper informed debate.

    In this story, Spid is horrified to find litter has been thrown into his garden. But he soon realises that littering and rubbish aren’t just a problem for him – they’re a problem for the whole planet. So he decides to do something about it. But he needs an idea. A really good idea. And he needs one now … As ever, Spid faces and overcomes a number of setbacks but wins though in the end!This audiobook includes two songs: 'Plan-it Earth' and 'Bag it, Bin It'. 'Plan-it Earth'. ‘Plan-it Earth’ starts with a superb guitar instrumental. It is a thoughtful and melancholy song, with a rallying chorus to save the planet “You Can Help Us Out, Be a Planet Scout.”  ‘Bag It, Bin It’ is an electro synth(esiser), anti-litter campaign song. It extols the virtues of recycling with a catchy chorus; “Bag it, bin it, put your rubbish in it. It’s not trash, it’s trade cash.” You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset.The book is supported by teaching resources, including a 'litter cycle' poster to help children understand the effects of litter on out planet, and empower them to help preserve our environment.
