Sustainable Development Suggested Reading

Here's a list of books I've found so far that will further your thinking in
running a sustainable hotel, or business.
These resources can help you learn about:
- climate change
- the triple bottom line
- resource minimization and product optimization
- green businesses you can start
- why we need a green revolution
- shifting your values
- making your business thrive in a sustainable way
This is an evolving list. As I find more books I'll add them. You'll also tend to find reviews of the books
