  Earlier this year, I requested suggestions for reading material from people who subscribed to Sustainable OKC and OSN's email lists.  The list is together and I have posted it t on Sustainable OKC's website at http://www.sustainableokc.org/reading.php and on OSN's discussion forum at http://lists.oksustainability.org/forum.  At OSN's forum, you can suggest additional titles or comment on those listed; how very interactive!
