I thought I would pick out my fav top 10 “eco” books just in case you were wondering where to start reading about about the environment. If you do end up shopping for a book, I recommend both Cradle to Cradle (one of my favs) and The Lazy Environmentalist . There are tons of books on these subjects, which can make picking a select few a challenging task…hope this helps!
1. An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore.You’ve seen the movie. Now read the book.
2. The Lazy Environmentalist. Your Guide to Easy, Stylish, Green Living, by Josh Dorfman.
3. Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, by William McDonough and Michael Braungart. A revolutionary call to produce, use and reuse products in ways that mimic nature’s own cycles of regeneration.
4. Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson.
