Cars (and the infrastructure dependence on them demands) are the cause of 30% of US carbon emissions, yet somehow always get a pass when "climate action" is outlined.

Here's a list of books to inspire you to examine your dependence on the automobile- and to begin exploring ways you can untangle yourself from the addiction to fossil fuels that is fed every time you leave the house.

Far from a sacrifice, though, you'll discover life can be cheaper, more beautiful, more connected, slower and cleaner when you get around using your feet, a bicycle, or the bus/train.

This is a list documenting the history of our streets;
car culture;
the ongoing multi-faceted issues this creates;
inspiring calls to action and change for individuals and society;
and why consumerisms and ..buying more cars, even electric ones... is not the solution to climate change.
