The Geography of Hope: A Tour of the World We Need by Chris Turner
1 recommendation
"Climate change writing can be a tad bit doom-n-gloom (HA! its VERY doom and gloom) so Turner's book is a nice change of pace. Is it enough to solve the problem? Not likely. But every step counts, and lots of great ones are in this book. Probably a better xmas gift than some of the other ones, unless you like to make your gift recipients cry. In that case, just stick with one of the sad ones."

Fight Global Warming Elect Obama bumper sticker
1 recommendation
"Since Palin doesn't believe that humans have any impact on global warming and McCain is planning tax cuts for Exxon Mobil, I'm guessing Obama's opponents won't make it a priority to stop global warming and protect our planet for future generations. Barack Obama has huge plans for alternative fuel development and progressive environmental policy. Wear this bumper sticker proudly."

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."
