Ecotopia, Ernest Callenbough
Great read! This is a must for anyone who has ever daydreamed about how a government based on conservation principles and a degrowth economy might function. I heard about this book from an interview with Kate Brown, the very cool current governor of Oregon, who read it in college.See More
