I'm still looking for participants for the Eco Reading Challenge. So far I have 3 people including myself. At the risk of sounding desperate *cough* Please Join!I came up with my list and if you're not sure about what to read, I've been adding to the list of ideas in my original post.
So here's my list:
*Animal Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
*Watership Down by Richard Adams
*101 Ways You Can Help Save the Planet Before You're 12 (I know I'm older than 12 but I won this one)
*Ecoholic or Prodigal Summer (haven't decided yet)
*David Suzuki's Green Guide
Now for my Acts of Green Reading:
*Changed the light bulbs in reading lamps to compact fluorescent ones
*Will read outside more
*Turn the TV off when reading
See, not so bad, right?
I like your list. And I'm sure the things that apply to 12-year-olds apply to us too!
ReplyDeleteThose sound like great books. I hope you enjoy the challenge. I'd love to participate but I know it just isn't possible. All the best!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an awesome challenge, I'm just over-committed to challenges at this point. I may weaken though! I do have my own goals for being green this year. I am actually remembering to bring my reusable bags to stores and becoming more aware of ways we waste water. Good luck with your goals!
ReplyDeleteChris, I just posted this today over at A Novel Challenge blog - hope that will get some people headed your way! This looks like a great challenge - but I am trying not to join any more at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteI'll join you in the Eco Reading Challenge.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I'll read:
*Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster, by Svetlana Alexievich
*Walden, by Thoreau
*The Vanishing Map: A Journey from LA to Tokyo to the Heart of Europe, by Stephen Barber
*Dust Bowl: The Southern Plains in the 1930s, by Donald Worster
*Second Nature: A Gardener's Education, by Michael Pollan

Joanna- Thanks!
ReplyDeletethatsthebook- That's too bad :(
Shelley- My grocery store just started charging for plastic bags. It's a great incentive to remember to bring them.
Wendy- Thanks for putting it up for me!
Molly- Thanks for joining us and great picks! Have fun!
I think I will join (even though i swore off reading challenges!). I read a lot of eco-ish stuff so it shouldn't be hard!
ReplyDeleteI love Animal Vegetable Miracle so much I want Barabara Kingsolver to be my neighbor hehe :)
Jupiter- I bet she'd have great vegetables to share.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about joining it, but I always fail so miserably with challenges, so I'll have to pass on it. I will, however, be keeping an eye open for reviews about the books you and all the participants read for the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got some good books and some great acts of green reading! :)
I wish I had time to join this challenge, but I'm sure my tbr list will grow significantly by reading everyone's reviews.
