Three books that I’m into right now are perfect companions to Blog Action Day on Climate Change 2009 — Nowtopia: How Pirate Programmers, Outlaw Bicyclists and Vacant-Lot Gardeners Are Inventing the Future Today by Chris Carlsson (AK Press 2008), Critical Mass: Bicycling’s Defiant Celebration edited by Chris Carlsson (AK Press 2002) and Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne (Penguin 2009).
How are you changing YOUR lifestyle to combat climate change and participate in being part of the solution instead of the problem?

As one of your students, I am also reading Nowtopia by Chris Carlsson and I am surprised to say that this book is having a bigger impact on me than I thought it would. Unfortunately, I do not think that I am being a part of the solution at this moment. But, with the come of January, I am confident that I will start being a part of the solution. After finishing Nowtopia and becoming a Berkeley, many parts of my life will be changing. I will be living on a tight budget; and I will be walking everywhere! Eventually, I will be a part of the solution:)
