Great Green Reads for Spring

8 inspiring, informative, delightful (and sometimes terrifying) new green books.

2009 has brought with it a batch of new eco-themed books—from Canadian gardening expert Marc Cullen to sustainable-style guru Summer Rayne Oakes. There’s something for everyone—an off-the-grid memoir, a tale of toxins, even a bizarrely titled book on green business. Looking for a green gift? Avid reader yourself? Watch for these titles in local libraries and bookstores across Canada. Pick one up and boost your eco-intelligence.

These look so interesting! Even though a wedding is not in my future, I did find it interesting there's a book on planning a green one. I want to add another book to the list, a fabulous resource green living and protecting ourselves from toxic chemicals. It's Super Natural Home by Beth Greer, who's an award-winning journalist and holistic health advocate. One of the things I really like about this book is that in the various sections, she provides alternatives to the way things are now. It's typically "3 ways to make a shift." For example, in talking about chemicals in food containers, she advises buying spaghetti sauce in glass bottles. It's a great, straightfoward and SOLUTIONS-based approach to the topic.
