Read n"Seed 1: Citizen Powred Energy Handbook

  1. The title of my book is the Citizen Powered Energy Handbook
  2. This book talks about global warming and how it is real. There is a short supply of oil and it covers different types of renewable and sustainable energy sources. Each chapter talks about a different form of renewable energy including, wind, water, biomass, liquid biofuels, geothermal and solar energy and how these sources of energy can be adapted by communities and individuals.
  3. I choose this book to learn more about how I can take part is using sustainable energy; it is a disturbing to think of how dependent on oil this country, including myself have become. It is time to look for some new options and I believe this book will present some.
  4. The following is a link to a review of Citizen Powered Energy Handbook:http://domesticfuel.comThe following is a link to a website about the author and other similar books he has written:http://www.gregpahl.com/The author, Greg Pahl, has made multiple videos about sustainable energy and green living. Here is a link to a website with multiple of his videos:http://blip.tv/file/1569633/
  5. This book is 376 pages. There are a total of 8 chapters. An introduction chapter explaining our energy choices and a conclusion chapter explaining what the community solution. The middle 6 chapters are dedicated to an alternative energy source. The first read n' seed will be the first chapter. The second and third read n' seed will be three chapters explaining three energy sources. The final read n' seed will explain the proposed solution.

    Sarah,

    This sounds like a different book than one I would typically read, but I think it will provide a lot of valuable information. I will be interested to learn about the small things we can do to become less dependent on oil. I checked out the video you had linked and I think it is really cool how they can have energy efficient appliances and different things that use renewable energy to make their home energy efficient. I look forward to hearing your perspective on the book.

    hey sarah...this book sounds very interesting as well. And with how your score from the quiz you took, it looks like this was kind of the perfect. Maybe it'll be able to give you pointers & guide you to making those small changes that can make the ultimate difference.
