 Food Fight: A Citizen's Guide to the Farm Bill   Food Fight: A Citizen's Guide to the Farm Bill   $16.95
 
Add:
The Farm Bill is perhaps the single most significant land use legislation enacted in the United States, yet many citizens remain unaware of its power and scope. With subsidies ballooning toward $25 billion per year, the Farm Bill largely dictates who grows what crops, on what acreage, and under what conditions, all with major impacts on the country's rural economies, health and nutrition, and biodiversity. As debate and wrangling over the 2007 Farm Bill intensifies, Food Fight offers a highly...
 Paper or Plastic: Searching for Solutions to an Overpackaged World   Paper or Plastic: Searching for Solutions to an Overpackaged World   $16.95
 
Add:
This deceptively simple supermarket choice echoed in the title symbolizes the dilemma of a society on a collision course with the planet's life-support systems. Do we clear-cut forests, process pulp, and bleach it with chlorine to make paper bags? Or do we make a pact with demon hydrocarbon, refining ancient sunlight into handy plastics? About half the total volume of America's municipal solid waste is packaged - at least 800 pounds per person each year - and the "upstream" costs in...

 Building With Vision: Optimizing and Finding Alternatives to Wood   Building With Vision: Optimizing and Finding Alternatives to Wood   $22.00
 
Add:
Combining environmental philosophy, practical information and dynamic visuals, Building with Vision makes accessible many solutions to wasteful tree-dependent construction and design. In addition to identifying the benefits, challenges, and applications of the recommended alternatives to contemporary American construction, this book details building methods to minimize wood waste, maximize efficiency, and emphasize the unique aesthetic properties of non-wood materials. Part resource guide, part...
 The Guide to Tree-free Recycled and Certified Papers   The Guide to Tree-free Recycled and Certified Papers   $15.00
 
Add:
While it is fairly well-known that wood-based paper is largely a 20th Century phenomenon, and that the impacts of paper production and over-consumption are taking a devastating toll on forests worldwide, there remains a true void of information on environmentally preferable paper options. The Guide to Tree-free Recycled and Certified Papers - the first volume in the Wood Reduction trilogy - is such a book. Designed specifically for professionals (graphic designers, procurement specialists,...
 Making Better Concrete - Guidelines to Using Fly Ash for Higher Quality, Eco-Friendly Structures   Making Better Concrete - Guidelines to Using Fly Ash for Higher Quality, Eco-Friendly Structures   $20.00
 
Add:
You may have heard of "high volume fly ash concrete", but until now there has been no easy guide to how to use it! Making Better Concrete is written by a practicing structural engineer after using and learning about fly ash concrete from the academic experts, concrete suppliers, engineers and architects who have studied, developed and used it. This isn't just for people who want to "build green" - this is for people who want to build better concrete.
