For those quiet moments in a sun-lounger in the garden, around the pool, or under your favourite tree, here are five environment themed books to inform, inspire and motivate you to greener things as the year progresses.
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
The Revenge of Gaia by James Lovelock
Worldchanging: a users guide to the 21st century by Alex Steffen and Al Gore
Hope, Human and Wild: True Stories of Living Lightly on the Earth by Bill McKibben

Are We Green Yet?
Progress on alternative energy is difficult to keep up with. I will attempt to keep abreast of new developments in energy conservation here. Combating global warming won’t get off the ground if we don’t know what to do on an individual basis. I want to see changes made, I want to feel we are all doing our part. Don’t leave it for someone else. Everything we do locally adds up to global changes. Let’s starting thinking and acting green. Everyday, we need to ask ourselves Are we green yet?
This Fair Earth
We believe that ethical, sustainable and eco-friendly products should not mean a compromise on quality. Our range of ethical gifts, jewellery, skincare, bathing items and homeware combine beauty and luxury with a real desire to make a positive difference.

Great book list; will look into those for my hols! Also check out our book page for lots of books relating to energy saving and much more - not necessarily sun lounger reads but lots of useful information - http://www.uk-energy-saving.com/energy_saving_books.html
Walden is a favorite, and hard to beat. Treehugger has a great thread going in their forum that addresses this very topic. Thanks for the reminder on these!
Thanks for the list. Being in the southern hemisphere it will actually be my winter list though!
good list, i’d add This Organic Life, Joan Dye Pussow and Small Wonder by Barbara Kingsolver.
thanks
