This past weekend, I was at one of my favorite spots – the Frisco library. To some that may be a bit geeky, but hey, where else can you get some quiet (you parents know what I’m talking about) and a place to learn about anything you want – for FREE!
I was quite pleased to see how the library’s collection on environmentalism has grown! So much that I could be selective in getting a stack of books all published in just the last couple of years.
Here’s my current reading list:
- Farewell, My Subaru by Doug Fine (So far, a funny and engaging read by a seasoned journalist/traveler who is taking on living Wal-Mart-free with his goats on a New Mexico farm.)
- Ecological Intelligence by Daniel Coleman (An in-depth look at how every choice/purchase we make has environmental, ecological, and social impacts, and how greenwashing contributes to our troubles.)
- Climate Change by DiMento and Doughman
- Now or Never by Tim Flannery (I’ve heard of this scientist/professor/author referrenced in a number of other books and want to know what this Australian of the Year 2007 has to say.)
- Hands on Environmentalism by Haglund and Still
- Whole Earth Discipline by Steward Brand
- Our Choice by Al Gore (This is a great nuts-and-bolts look at inputs to global warming and alternatives to move America into safer CO2 emission levels)
Don’t worry – I’ve left some books for you. If you are interested in these topics, check out the following non-fictions sections at your library:
- 333.7
- 363.7
- 550
- 577
Happy Learning!
