Crimes Against Nature

"If you need an educated analysis about George W and his environmentally fallacies - this book is it. Written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. - an environmental activist and attorney - the book breaks down specific instances of environmental injustice and general and specific theories/reasons of how they came to be. A terrific book for getting fired up about the upcoming elections and the nominees' poli..."
Small Is Possible, Lyle Estill
1 recommendation
"As much as I live in LA, I like to live in a small community-feel area where walking to the grocery store, or up and down the street is easy. First it was Westwood and now Venice. This book is an example of how communities can sustain themselves despite the growing environmental issues we all face. Now, if I could only get my communities to really strive for that goal."
75 Green Businesses, Glenn Croston
1 recommendation
"Looking to get a start or break into the green business world? This book breaks it down for you in a way you may not have been able to envision. I actually used a similar book that was broken down by field when I was about to graduate and it was extremely helpful in shaping my thoughts and goals."

Good Green Kitchens Book
1 recommendation
"Another green home book - specifically for the kitchen. If you think about it, the kitchen is the place where the green stuff going in your body really takes center stage. And everything your food touches also goes in your body, so why not make your kitchen green so you're safe all around?"

Eco Nest Book
1 recommendation
"This book and the concepts behind it are pretty sweet. I actually want it of when I consider (and can afford) building my green dream home. In short, the idea behind an econest is to live/build in a similar manner to a bird building it's nest - using materials at hand and the perfect size (no bigger than necessary)."

Greenopia, by Green Media Group
1 recommendation
"There's a bunch of these green shopping guides by city. I think I already recommended the Los Angeles version (if I didn't, you know now) and it was rather enlightening. It ranked the "greenness" of the places (and explained how it did so) as well as splitting by category. Being green in an urban setting was never so easy."
