During these long dark winter days, why not
feed your brain with some sustainable and inspiring reading? Or pick up any of these suggestions for
a gift for a loved one?
1. Let
My People Go Surfing, The Education of a Reluctant Businessman, Yvon
Chouinard - Yvon, the founder and owner of Patagonia, gives an astonishing and
authentic view on how to run a sustainable business. One of
Kathryn’s main sources of inspiration behind setting up Sustainability Consult.
2. The
Secret Life of Stuff, A Manual for a New Material World, Julie Hill -
Uncovers the origins and true cost of ‘stuff’ and presents a step towards
overcoming waste.
3. Cradle
to Cradle, Remaking the Way We Make Things, Michael Braungart and William
McDonough - A challenge to the conventional 'cradle to grave' industrial model,
fighting waste production and showing the way to a new era of highly-effective
manufacturing.
4. What
Would the Buddha Recycle? The Zen of Green Living, Rosemary Roberts -
A fabulous view on what Buddha’s ‘green’ advice would be in this era of heavy
consumption.
5. The
Thank You Economy, Gary Vaynerchuk - More than a business strategy book, it
gives the voice and power of opinion back to the consumer. Combining
passion and business, this is a read you cannot miss! A must for
social media fans.
