[OKC] A bumper crop of green living books

[Shauna Struby]

In a new Fresh Greens <http://bit.ly/fm4tT>  post,  <http://bit.ly/HEIcb> "A
bumper crop of green living books," Chelsey Simpson, managing editor of
Oklahoma <http://www.ok-living.coop/>  Living magazine, explores six cool
books with a plethora of ideas - some really fun ones - for living more
sustainably. Here's a snippet:

 

"
<http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Homegrown-Whole-Grains/Sara-Pitzer/e/97816
03421539> Homegrown Whole Grains: Grow, Harvest and Cook Your Own Wheat,
Barley, Oats, Rice, Corn and More," by Sara Pitzer. The title pretty much
explains the appeal, but it doesn't convey how beautiful and user-friendly
this book is thanks to the simple illustrations gracing almost every page
and charts and sidebars breaking information down into bite-sized portions.
Each section takes a different grain from field to table, and there are even
profiles of farmers and bakers to personalize the narrative.

<http://www.amazon.com/Down-Dirty-First-time-Activities-Gardening/dp/1580176
410> Down & Dirty: 43 Fun & Funky First-time Projects & Activities to Get
You Gardening," by Ellen Zachos. With the exception of a couple projects,
such as making elderflower champagne, this would be great book to work
through with kids. The pictures are bold and bright, and the projects - from
scarecrows to wild food and winterizing - are simple.
