Earth Day/Energy Fair -- Read a Book!

Earth Day is April 22 and it's a good time to think about energy use. Why not use some of your energy to read about the present and future of energy? All of these books are in the UCC library; the titles below are linked to the library catalog for your browsing pleasure.


Fueling Our Future : an Introduction to Sustainable Energy by Robert Evans.







Gaiam Real Goods Solar Living Sourcebook: Your Complete Guide to Renewable Energy Technologies and Sustainable Living by John Schaeffer.






The Renewable Energy Handbook : a Guide to Rural Independence, Off-Grid and Sustainable Living by William H. Kemp





Saving Energy, Growing Jobs : How Environmental Protection Promotes Economic Growth, Profitability, Innovation, and Competition by David B. Goldstein






Lives Per Gallon : The True Cost of Our Oil Addiction by Terry Tamminen



Locally, we have the EARTH DAY AND ENERGY FAIR — 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Saturday, April 19th, Douglas County Fairgrounds. Crafts, wildlife, storytelling, a used-clothing fashion show, a student poetry contest, prizes, giveaways, demonstrations, activities, entertainment, hands-on exhibits and food are all part of the annual Douglas County Earth Day and Energy Fair. Prizes for anyone who comes on foot or bicycle. Free admission. 440-4350.

Nice! And reading a book will probably be drier than attending the fair this weekend if the weather forecast holds.
