In the past several months I have read several interesting books. Here are two that I would like to share with you:

A Slice of Organic Life
This is a great book of simple ways to live a bit more sustainable. The book has simple ideas for people who live in apartments through to people who own fields in which to raise animals and crops.

Better Off
This is the story of a man and his wife who spend a year in a “minimite” community. They take a year away from technology and his tale tells of their experiences during that year. While it’s more extreme than most of us would be willing to go, it does get you thinking about ways to make sure that we are using technology in responsible ways that do not allow the technology to control us.
