Captain Compost is learning more and more about her food and where it comes from and how it affects our planet. Watching Food, Inc. was eye opening and now she has a long list of books to read to find out more!
She just started reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma and is finding it fascinating. She also has a few other books on her reading list for this summer and wanted to share so all you Eco~Warriors out there can bone up on where your food is really coming from and what it’s really doing to our planet. Check them out:
Michael Pollan’s newest book: Food Rules sounds fascinating, as well as In Defense of Food. CC added them both to her PBS wish list!
Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is next on Captain Compost’s reading list.
While doing some research, CC discovered another interesting looking book: Confessions of an Eco~Sinner: Tracking Down the Sources of my Stuff which sounds fascinating as well as Sleeping Naked is Green: How and Eco~Cynic Unplugged Her Fridge, Sold Her Car, and Found Love in 366 Days.
This book looks fun, too: Don’t Throw It, Grow it! 68 Windowsill Plants from Kitchen Scraps. CC will be adding that to her “To Read” list, too!
Captain Compost is wondering if you have read any good Green books lately? What’s on your “To Read” list for this year?
I’m going to look for “Confessions of an Eco-Sinner.” Thanks for the list!
I loved Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Food Rules is on my table waiting for me to finish my current mystery novel. Enjoy your wish list!
I’ve read a few of the books listed above and all the rest are on my t0-read list.
