One of my colleagues here at WARM is considering grad school in a sustainable engineering program at U of M.  She recently asked me for book recommendations on sustainability in general and sustainable tech in specific.  So much of my library is more focused on DIY stuff, and having read a number of sustainability books that I didn’t find that useful,  I was surprised at how few recommendations I had.  I gave her two recommendations:

Cradle to Cradle by Williams McDonough and Michael Braungart

Biomimicry by Janine Beynus

(and the biomimicry folks have an additional recommended reading list which looks great!)

So I thought I’d ask: what would you recommend? What are the best books for sustainability in general and sustainable tech in general? Load up in the comments field and I’ll compile for a future post. Share this far and wide to solicit more opinions…

While we’re at it — how about blogs or websites for sustainable tech?

Thanks!

Ah the joys of cross-pollination. Cross pollination of ideas is one of the things that I am most excited about with this blog. So, it seems fitting to post this as my first entry. Specifically, I’m combining microbiology, independent musicians and social activism to see if a worthwhile idea emerges.
