Earth Day Classics to Ring in a Green Year

Books with a green theme are all the rage and you don’t have to go far to find something new and interesting. But Alison Reeger Cook takes a different approach for the Gainesville Times and puts together an interesting list of Earth Day Classics.

These are the books that helped lay the foundation for how she looks at life now. The ones that taught her “the importance of living in harmony with Mother Earth.”

Here is Reeger Cook’s list. You can read more about the books here.

Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson

Walden, by Henry David Thoreau
