Worms Eat My Garbage From all the information we've gathered this year, this book is THE de-facto standard guide for starting your own compost pile, with or without worms! The only way Mark, Ben, and Julie were able to generate one shoebox of garbage per month was through intensive composting. Give it a try! Click on the book to pick up a tree-free copy. Plan B 3.0 - Mobilizing to Save Civilization Published in early 2008, this is basically a timely summary of our civilization's relationship with the planet that sustains it, and recommendations for how to fix it. Author Lester Brown and the Earth Policy Institute have decided to let you download the whole book for free. We, and they, really want you to read this book. Agenda for a New Economy YERT's interview with David Korten was a highlight of our journey, and we can't wait to share his wisdom with you. In the meantime, he'll share it directly with you through this book. Timely, powerful, and necessary to truly fix things in America, this book is highly recommended by YERT. Small is Beautiful We visited the headquarters of the E.F. Schumacher Society and were brought nearly to tears during an interview with its Executive Director, Susan Witt. This book fundamentally changed Ben's world view-- perhaps it will change yours, too! The Great Turning In this groundbreaking book, David Korten revisits history to skillfully articulate a powerful path towards a sustainable, human-centered civilization-- away from the empire-based power structures we see today. This book and its author provided tremendous inspiration for the creation of YERT. Cradle to Cradle YERT interviewed gDiapers in Oregon, and this company happens to create one of the first "cradle to cradle" certified products on the planet! Read the book, then re-think the way that humans create and "dispose" of products. A must-read.
