Sustainable bookshelf: books you need to read to change the world
If in the last decade we have made good steps through sustainability and consciousness, the Coronavirus pandemic has put a temporary stop to our world and to the fight against the climate crisis.
Before the pandemic, we were fighting single use plastic with tote bags and reusable cups, while now we throw away tons of masks, gloves and other corona-safe plastic elements everyday. It’s fair to say that, if we want to save the world, we need to go back on track as soon as possible.
We might not be able to avoid wasteful masks for a while, but we can educate ourselves on all the small changes we can make now to help the cause. After all, knowledge is power.
We selected a few of our favourite books about sustainability that will help anyone understand more about climate change and will inspire you to do more.
