The World We Have - Thich Nhat Hanh (3.5 of 5 No Car Days)

I read this book a few months ago for my Environmental Literature class. It's a tiny little handbook that can probably fit in your pocket and because it's only about 100 pages, you could likely get through it in one sitting.

Short and sweet: it's a Buddhist approach to conserving the world we have. Most of the book focuses on the Buddhist ideology for protecting nature. The last chapter contains many simple habits that you can put into practice to make a difference in your home, family and community. If this angle to the green revolution sounds interesting to you, check it out. The worst case scenario is you lose an hour or two.
