Four Books Worth Reading
The Humane Home by Sarah Lozanova
The book contains seven chapters that cover topics like energy efficiency, water conservation, passive solar heating, building materials, air quality, choosing where to live, etc.It contains numerous little projects, from building garden beds to preserving home-grown produce.The book is a quick and easy read, easily finished in an hour or two.
An Almost Zero Waste Life by Megean Weldon
The book offers suggestions for reducing waste in every area of life, from grocery shopping, to beauty routines and clothing.In urging people to choose bamboo toothbrushes and package-free goods, Weldon never mentions a single company.This may be strategic—companies come and go, and such references could potentially make the book feel out-of-date—but it could leave the reader still wondering where to start.
The Eco-Hero Handbook by Tessa Wardley
The book addresses the issue of eco-anxiety by devoting a one-page answer to a commonly-asked question and, hopefully, enabling the readers to feel like they can take action.The questions range from “Is my water usage affecting the planet and nature?” to “Which foods are responsible for the worst forest damage?” and so on.
