SUMMARY:Go Green Reads:  Purified
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss Purified: How Recycled Sewage Is Transforming Our Water\, by journalist Peter Annin. \nVeteran journalist Peter Annin shows how wastewater has become a surprising weapon in our country’s war against water scarcity. Annin probes deep into the water reuse movement in five water-strapped states—California\, Texas\, Virginia\, Nevada\, and Florida. He drinks beer made from purified sewage\, visits communities where purified sewage came to the rescue\, and examines how one of the nation’s largest wastewater plants hopes to recycle one hundred percent of its wastewater by 2035. At each stop\, readers come face to face with the people who are struggling for\, and against\, recycled water and Annin’s message that no water—not even sewage—should be wasted. \nJoin us for this special virtual event with The Book Stall’s Jon Grand in conversation with author Peter Annin. \nREGISTER REQUIRED

SUMMARY:Go Green Reads: inconspicuous consumption: the environmental impact you don't know you have
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual discussion of Inconspicuous Consumption\, a fascinating and unexpectedly entertaining look at the way our everyday lives impact environmental pollution and climate change. You don’t have to read the book in advance to participate. \nWith urgency and wit\, former New York Times science writer Tatiana Schlossberg examines unseen environmental impacts in four areas – the internet/technology\, food\, fashion\, and fuel – to explain how interconnected we are. Read or listen to the book (or don’t – no pressure!) and join us for a discussion of how daily day activities like watching Netflix\, eating a burger\, or just turning on a light\, impact the environment and have far-reaching consequences. \nMore importantly\, she empowers her audience to make more informed choices and to better understand our potential as consumers and voters\, leaving readers feeling energized rather than hopeless. \nThank you to The Book Stall for its generous support of our communities and these discussions! \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Go Green Reads:  Secondhand
DESCRIPTION:In Secondhand\, Adam Minter delves into the vast\, multi-billion-dollar industry that resells used stuff around the world. He follows the trail of “one’s-trash-is-another’s-treasure” objects from the closets\, garages\, and storage units of Middle America to epic used-goods markets around the world. Secondhand takes us through the often painful and heartbreaking process of cleaning out a lifetime’s worth of possessions – and shows that used stuff still has an important place in a world that values the new and shiny. \nRegister for Zoom –  HERE

SUMMARY:Go Green Reads: The Tragedy of the Commons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next discussion in March\, which will be a fun one. Bookseller and environmentalist Jon Grand and economist and environmentalist Craig Witty will lead a discussion of the 1968 article\, The Tragedy of the Commons\, by Garrett Hardin. The Tragedy of the Commons explains individuals’ tendencies to make decisions based on their personal needs and self-interest\, regardless of the negative impact they may have on others. In the environmental context\, resources are overused\, exploited\, and eventually depleted\, to the detriment of all. \nThe online article can be found at this LINK. \nPlease register for this discussion through the Zoom link. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with the link for joining the discussion.

SUMMARY:Go Green Reads: Cradle to Cradle
DESCRIPTION:In their book\, Cradle to Cradle\, architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart present a re-imagined view of industrial and manufacturing systems. Nature becomes the model for making things and products are designed and manufactured with new uses already in mind. Rather than seeking to minimize the harm we inflict\, Cradle to Cradle re-frames design as a positive\, regenerative force — one that creates footprints to delight in\, not lament.\n\nThis integrated view of design and science creates safe materials\, water\, and energy in circular economies and eliminates the concept of waste\, all of which provides enduring benefits to society. And this paradigm shift reveals opportunities to improve quality\, increase value\, and spur innovation.\n\nRegister in advance for this virtual book talk.

SUMMARY:Go Green Reads: A Special Event with Julian Hoffman
DESCRIPTION:Please join us this Earth Day for a wide-ranging conversation between author Julian Hoffman and The Book Stall’s Jon Grand on our irreplaceable wild world. Register HERE for this free noontime program. \nAuthor Julian Hoffman appears at this special Lunchreads virtual event sponsored by Go Green Reads in conjunction with The Book Stall.
