Amazon: You Are Here - Exposing the Vital Link Between What We Do and What That Does to Our Planet by Thomas M. Kostigen
1 recommendation
"Although Al Gore sounded the alarm with "An Inconvenient Truth," we have been in dire need of ways in which we can translate this truth into personal action. Thomas M. Kastigan makes the science behind climate change tangible, understandable and, therefore, more manageable for us to tackle. We are here. How livable "here" becomes is in our own hands."

Positively Green cards

"I saw these in a store yesterday and had to stop myself from buying ALL of them. I sent one to a friend and bought another to frame for my wall... I plan on going back and getting four more to make a nice series for my wall! These cards have beautiful quotes with equally beautiful illustrations, and are green to boot! The cards are recycled, the company has excellent environmental plans and ..."

"Another great Canadian climate book, this time with heavy hitters Jeffrey Simpson of the Globe & Mail, and Mark Jaccard, one of the world's leading experts in climate change, energy policy, and economics. A truly brilliant read, with oodles of policy suggestions. Only one question remains: Can we get Stephen Harper to read this?!!"
Tar Sands: Dirty Oil And The Future Of A Continent: by Andrew Nikiforuk
1 recommendation
"I haven't read this book, but I did read Nikiforuk's last book, Pandemonium, and was blown away by it. Nikiforuk is the rare author who can take science and complex issues and write it into easily understandable and yet not dumbed down prose. For those of you that don't know about the Tar Sands in Alberta.... oy. Its UGLY. Its BIG. Its almost singlehandedly driving the Canadian economy righ..."
Keeping Our Cool by Andrew Weaver
1 recommendation
"This book is a MUST read. Weaver is one of the lead authors of the IPCC reports and (big ups) also Canadian. So right there he's got my vote. But the book is a no-nonsense review of what is really going on in the field of climate change science, and no one can tell it better than Weaver. At times a bit sciency, but never over your head, he tells the story with a Canadian focus. I particularly ..."
Climate Wars: Gwynne Dyer: Books
1 recommendation
"Studies of human decision making shows that people, even though they believe climate change is a real issue, often are not willing to undertake even minor alterations in behaviour because they don't face the realities of climate change every day. This book could scare the *@#%# out of them and make them realize that there ARE very grave futures for all of us if we don't act NOW on climate change...."

Fight Global Warming Elect Obama Environmentalist Shirt
1 recommendation
"The idea behind this design is as great as the design itself. It features Barack Obama as Prometheus, once again leading humanity in the channeling the power of fire - only this time, it's to channel the heat of global warming. A pro-Obama t-shirt with smarts, and it's made in the USA so as to keep labor local and stop the flow of money to manufacturers who try to evade environmental regulations."
Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays & Reflections)
1 recommendation
"Published way back in 1949, this is the book that tuned millions into conservationism. It’s a beautiful bit of nature writing that really is responsible for opening my eyes some years ago to the fact that conserving our home is an absolute imperative."

"This is the most comprehensive and fashion-forward eco-chic boutique I’ve yet to find in California. Carries my favorite lines (see #6 above) and has introduced me to a number of others. Dedicated not only to green sustainability but fair labor practices."
rag & bone
1 recommendation
"If you’ve shopped for ‘green’ clothes, you’ll know that finding quality that matches the price points can be difficult. Hand-stitched in the United States, Rag & Bone’s offerings are of amazing quality. Their commitment to environmental issues is solid, as is their fair-wage, local production stance. I can’t commend this company highly enough."
The Long Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century
1 recommendation
"The world as we know it, like it or not, is going to change radically. The way we lives our lives, impossible as it seems, is going to change drastically. Kunstler lays out a very likely scenario that details these near-future changes. To pretend that we’ll be able to continue as-is is folly. Kunstler helps us mentally prepare for our new lives."

Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning
1 recommendation
"How do we save the planet before it’s too late? Monbiot is one of the very few who actually has a specific plan to reduce emissions by 90% within 30 years. If we don’t hit these numbers, if we settle for less, we’re all cooked. And believe me, our kids will point the fingers directly at us and ask us why we didn’t pay attention to people like Monbiot."
