One Island recommends the following books, films and resources to expand your Sustainable Living library of knowledge. Use your library catalog to locate a good read (a great way to re-use resources in your local community), purchase directly from the author’s web site below, at a local bookseller (who is an important part of your community’s economy), or order online (if so, you can consolidate online orders to lessen the non-renewable fuel delivery transportation impact of each book).
