Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming
by
"This is the essential book on the list. With its attractive photos, it's the only thing I've found that explains there is useful stuff to be done in a way that the average person can get behind. The first thing to give to anyone you meet who has given up, or is sinking into cynicism and despair."

The New Carbon Architecture: Building to Cool the Climate
by
"Still to explore-- upfront carbon emissions are "embodied carbon", that's captured in the materials we use for our buildings and the "stuff" we own. This is a huge contributor. Advances in low carbon concrete since this book was published make its recommendations even more practical. You'll switch from metal/particleboard furniture to solid wood after reading this, and think twice about trading in a car."
