Four Steps to Prepare for the Low-Plastic Future
Several books on the topic are getting attention, including "Slow Death By Rubber Duck" by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie and "Exposed" by Mark Schapiro. By Ellie Moss The FDA's reversal of its decision on BPA is one more sign that the way we use plastics today may be on the verge of a significant shift.

REVOLUTION IN A BOTTLE – Book Review
This book should carry a health warning for reading it might make you give up everything and turn you to become an eco-entrepreneur. This book is the story of Tom Szaky but especially the story of TerracCycle, and how it began and nearly did not. His style of writing is extremely good and one does not want to put the book down. Review by Michael Smith REVOLUTION IN A BOTTLE: How TerraCycle is Redefining Green Business by Tom Szaky, Founder of TerraCycle Published April 1, 2009 (no, this is no April Fools) as a Paperback Original by Portfolio, a Penguin Imprint 190+ pages paperback – printed entirely on recycled paper ISBN 978-1-59184-250-7 Price : USD 15.00 Tom Szaky dropped out of Princeton in 2002 to lead a startup company that makes useful stuff out of what other people consider nothing but garbage.

Books, Books, Books
is that I wake up to the sight of neatly stacked shelves of books and found objects across the room. I’ve been reading a lot more books lately, picking them up at bookstores, airports and used book sales all over the country and trudging them back home in my suitcase. I know a Kindle is more portable, paperless and light-weight, but I prefer books. One of the reasons I think I relish sleeping at home in my own bed (and it literally is my own! The Simmons Natural Care by Danny Seo!),

Toolbox for Sustainable City Living – Book Review
cm Price US $16 The tools you need to create self-sufficient, ecologically sustainable cities says the main caption on the back of the book and while too some degree this may be aiming rather high as total self-sufficiency is something that is more than hard to achieve trying to be self-sufficient and self-reliant to some degree is nevertheless something that we must get down to. Therefore this book is a useful little toolbox, in combination with another one or two good ones in this genre, is basically what we need in order to get some way towards that goal.
