For builders of natural homes (straw bale, cob, adobe, rammed earth,
and other natural materials), this unique step-by-step guide takes the
confusion out of choosing, mixing, and applying natural plasters. 
.
Provides an overview of green building techniques, materials, products,
and technologies that are either currently available or will be in the
near future. A wealth of up-to-date, practical information for homebuyers,
owner-builders, and anyone interested in building for a sustainable
future. 
.
Presents a coherent plan that helps parents foster love for nature,
teach children the importance of environmental protection, promote environmental
values, and inspire actions that will last a lifetime. A hopeful guide
for parents. 
.
This guide starts by outlining the likely impacts of fossil fuel shortages
and some basic facts about energy. It then discusses energy conservation
to slash energy bills and prepare for renewable energy options. Focusing
on specific strategies needed to replace specific fuels, the book examines
each option available to homeowners. 
.
An overview of the pros and cons of fourteen natural building methods.
Includes straw bale, rammed earth, cob, cordwood, adobe, earthbags,
papercrete, and more. The common goal is to create a house that is economical,
energy efficient, nontoxic, and pleasing. This comprehensive sourcebook
offers in-depth information that will guide your choice of the materials
and methods for building a sustainable natural home. 
.
Explains in detail how today's homebuilders can succeed with solar designs.
Now that energy efficiency measures including higher levels of insulation
and multi-layered glazing have become standard, it is easier than ever
before to create a comfortable and affordable passive solar house that
will provide year-round comfort in any climate. 
.
Practical ideas for creating more socially, economically, and environmentally
sustainable neighborhoods. Shows how suburbs fail to meet many peoples'
needs, then describes how existing neighborhoods can be transformed,
offering cohousing and new urbanist communities as examples. 
.
How ranchers and environmentalists on the Western Range can work together
to achieve common goals. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and in its third
printing, this book describes ten ranchers, from Mexico to Montana,
who decided to work with environmentalists rather than fight against
them. 
.
An exploration of how a new kind of environmentalism is being born among
those who see themselves, and their skills, as part of the ecosystem,
part of nature. As an alternative to the "leave it alone"
approach, the perspective of this book is that human use and ecological
restoration can often go together. 
.
Dancer reflects on spirituality, indigenous knowledge, quantum physics,
psychology, and ecological principles. Humor, synchronicity, delight,
and heartfelt struggle are all present in these tales. The result is
a gift for a culture that has forgotten its connection to nature. 
.
In this beautiful volume, Dancer has assembled a portrait of Kansas
in its many different lights… a sunflower field at dawn, a rural
Main Street in the eerie, greenish light of a summer storm, a nighttime
prairie fire, and a dusty stretch of prairie in the hot light of midday.
.
From air and ground, the 35 photographers whose vivid work is gathered
here document the devastation clear-cut forestry has caused across Canada
and the U.S. This volume doesn't just show the destruction of clearcutting
but offers solutions. 
.
How to minimize your exposure to the toxins in everything from food,
cleaning products, and cosmetics to furniture, rugs, air, and water.
Step by step, this book tells you where dangerous chemicals are lurking,
why it's so important to avoid them when pregnant, and what you can
do before, during, and after your pregnancy to protect your child. 
.
Doppelt describes the process required to move organizations toward
sustainability. This book demystifies the sustainability-change process
by providing a framework and methodology that managers can use to transform
their organizations. 
.
Provides comprehensive guidance to fashion-forward consumers who are
as concerned about the long-term health of our planet as they are about
the design of their bathroom fixtures. Covers topics that range from
clothing to electronic gadgetry, home decor to recreation, and gardening
to financial investment.
