CHECK OUT SUSTAINABLE SHELF IN ACTION
A contemporary collection of literature that focuses on environmental and sustainability practices and issues. The books are hand picked by me with an emphasis on innovation, entrepreneurship, exploration and activism. Each set of books is donated to local libraries and schools. The goal is to build a collection of dynamic and relevant books and media to inspire and motivate students to get involved in pressing environmental issues. Visionaries and outdoor explorers are at the heart on this series. I started this project at my local high school in San Francisco and hope to have ‘Sustainable Shelves’ coast to coast.
Knowledge is power.
Power drives activism.
