The Greener Reader discussion

We're always looking for great book suggestions related to sustainability. Realize that sustainability is a broad topic, and make your recommendations on this page, or at our monthly meeting! :)

Aloha,
Marguerite

Here's one I'm interested in, maybe for Aug/Sept.?
The Good Food Revolution: Growing Healthy Food, People, and Communities

Ohhh that one does look good - I saw that guy on a talk show. I'm down! ...it could even be July, right?

we could do July, unless you still want to read selfish gene. both seem like good options...let's discuss tomorrow. by the way i'll be bringing salsa and hummus. and maybe some lentil soup. and some extras...

Want to recommend The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight as an opening to any and all discussion of climate change, end of oil, and basically all energy-related issues. This book by Thom Hartmann is a must read for those concerned about how we (i.e., Western Society) got so screwed up.

Thank you, Richard, for the suggestion! I've added "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" to our list of books to read. We still need to pick a June book, so it will certainly be in the running. Feel free to join us next Tuesday (the 30th) to discuss our April book and help choose upcoming books :)

Aloha all, I've just begun receiving e-mail from the group for the first time in months, and at the same time I heard through my friends at Center for a New American Dream about the new book Angels by the River -- a semi-autobio by Gus Speth, one of the best writers and leaders in the enviro movement, founder of the NRDC and long-time professor at Yale's School of Forestry and the Environment. Gus provides the reader a window into his journey from staid establishment green politics ("Mr. Environmental Insider"), to becoming a more radical environmental leader in the anthropocene era of climate change. He now espouses changes in the nature of the global economy (i.e., liberalism) needed for sustainability to have a real chance against rampant growth of the economy and temperatures. Here's info for anyone interested: http://angelsbytheriver.com/

Happy 2015!

Marguerite, maybe you can find the author at school and you guys can skype in together!
