Looking for great green ebooks? Here's our weekly list of 10 recommended green ebooks!

We write here extensively on the ongoing dilemma of how green e-books are. Even though we believe e-reading can get greener, we can't ignore the growing popularity of ebooks (and you know I am fond of my Kindle..) and we want to help those of you who look to read interesting ebooks on green topics.

Therefore, we started last week a weekly series of 10 recommendations on green ebooks that we either read or read about on Treehugger, Grist and other websites we follow. Most of them are new and were either released in the last month or two or about to be released (but already available as ebooks).

The links of these ebooks are to Amazon.com and I apologize in advance to all the Nook, iPad, Kobo and Sony Reader owners. I hope you can easily find an ebook you'll like on other ebookstores. This is also the place to disclose that we're taking part in Amazon's affiliate program and therefore will receive a small percentage of every purchase made using these links. We hope you don't mind!


A new list is posted here every Wednesday and you can find all the lists published so far on our recommended green ebooks webpage.

Without further ado, here's this week's list of 10 recommended green e-books:

Ebooks for Children said...

Hello all,

Raising children who love the earth requires first-hand experience with the relationships found outdoors. Literature can intensify that love. An ecologic consciousness begins as soon as a child has awareness of the world around them. These green books for kids are rooted in a love for the environment. Thanks for sharing it!
