"To add a bit of perspective to this designer water collection, while we marvel at all the different ways water can be presented to us as a lifestyle product, there are billions of people, that not only can't afford a bottle of water on a salary of a dollar a day, but don't even have access to safe water to drink. This is where Lifestraw comes in, as one of the products that was specifically des..."

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.

Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe
1 recommendation
"I read this book when I was 17 and it changed my life. Not so much because of the nutritional information it contained, or the recipes (which weren't that good) but because it clarified for me the real impact of our meat-based diet on the environment, resource management, and consequently human rights. This book is possibly more relevant now than ever and the follow-up "Hope's Edge: The Next Die..."

Never before captured images of the rain forest floor, the deep sea, the split second a shark captures a seal, slowed down from 1 second to 45...more dramatic and imaginative than any movie could hope to be. ($79.95 at the Discovery Channel Store) UPDATE: Someone got this for me for my birthday. Thank you so much!"
