reading list!

I've been neglecting my personal responsibilities to the yeti project recently. However, I did get through most of the reading I had planned and I feel slightly more informed about energy conservation and living an ecofriendly lifestyle. As with most interesting and complex subjects, the more you find out, the more you realize there is to learn. I've been rather overwhelmed. If you want some more than light reading to occupy you on your down time I highly recommend all of these books listed below:

Carbon strategies : how leading companies are reducing their climate
change footprint / Andrew J. Hoffman ; with contributions from Douglas
Glancy ... [et al.].

Not only did this book give interesting strategies and solutions to energy conservation and reducing the carbon footprint on a business level, it also proved that it saves a business money to go green. A business is at risk of losing money and creating otherwise unnecessary costs if they chose to remain ignorant of the changing world around them.


Climate Change 2007 : the physical science basis : contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change / edited by Susan Solomon ... [et al.]

Basically a compilation of a lot of studies proving that climate change is real and even more suggestions on how to prevent it.


Climate change : science, strategies, & solutions / Eileen Claussen,
executive editor, Vicki Arroyo Cochran, managing editor, Debra P. Davis,
editor.

Concise overall view of the issues we are faced with and will be faced with and possibly practical solutions.



Human-induced climate change : an interdisciplinary assessment / edited by Michael E. Schlesinger ... [et al.].

An attempt to identify all the ways humans have caused an impact on the climate and the underlying sources.



Perspectives on climate change : science, economics, politics, ethics /
edited by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Richard Howarth.

Various essays that individually attack the problem of climate change from within one area, but when read as a compilation, solidify the idea that climate change is an issue that spans every area of our society.


Any way that you can be more informed is beneficial. Browse the internet, read an article in the newspaper, glace at a magazine; whatever gives you more knowledge than you had before. And then tell your friends!
