I am a conservative, bible believing, Christian and I did not see anything offensive about the book or the projects on the page you referenced (of course, I only saw the pages of the book shown on the blog). Looks to me like it is all about taking care of the earth which God wants us to do. Unless there is something I am missing, it looks to me like it is about teaching kids to recycle and conserve things like energy and not waste things like food and paper. These are all excellent concepts to be taught to the kids. As a Christian, I would teach it as taking care of the world that God has created.

I very breifly googled "earth day and Christianity" and I think the objection to it by some Christian groups is when environmental causes are presented as a kind of religion, replacing belief in a sovereign God. I think there are some Christians who are militant about not believing in global warming so maybe that is part of it, too? They backlash against the whole idea of conserving and taking care of the earth's resources? Whether global warming is really happening or not, I have no idea, but I believe that God wants us to be good stewards of the planet he created. That would include teaching our children to be good caretakers of our planet.
