This is a great list! Choosing at least one of them as a summer read is a must, because sustainability is now unavoidable if you want your business to succeed!
If you’re interested on learning more about Tom Szaky and Gil Friend there are some great clips at http://www.prendismo.com
The clips have some great information for anyone interested in sustainability and business…
Thanks again for the list and hope you enjoy the videos.

I would also recommend Cradle to Cradle.. although this has been out for awhile. Also, for an interesting look at the forerunners of the Green Movement, check out Victor Papanek.. Design for the Real World and the Green Imperative are VERY inspiring…
