Review:

It is striking the way that the weather, environment, and even the sounds of nature impact humans.  I was aware of the physical risks of higher temperatures, but did not understand or properly consider the impact of all the other components of the environment and how those affect mental state, not just the physical ability to live.

Drawdown, Hawken (editor)

Drawdown:  The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming edited by Paul Hawken is a book that we came across via the drawdown web site.  It got great reviews.  I wanted to read it.  I also wanted to funnel more money into the organization that Paul Hawken formed to write it.

Review:

This is a simply staggering collection of well researched ideas along with cost and impact.  This is the basis of a business case.  It is a great reference whenever government decides to care about the world again.
