This second book in Ben Thomas' Sustainable Me series takes a candid look at the environmentally conscious "conservative." There is a conflict that rages within the conservative heart when it comes to the "green" movement. They really want to be green but it would mean crossing party and ideological lines to do so. It's quite the conundrum! The subtitle of this book is "Counterintuitive Conservatism" but it may as well have been "Schizophrenic Conservatism." Part of the problem for conservatives, Republicans, and evangelical Christians is both as simple as guilt and a penchant for playing with the wrong crowd. The guilt is disobedience to the most basic principles of a Biblical mandate to care for the environment and the wrong crowd is big oil, big farming, and big business. Most of us argue most vehemently when we already know we are wrong and become defensive. We are out of contact with the real environment and become contradictory or antagonistic. This along with complete denial is descriptive of conservative, Christian America. Growing up in the south as a conservative evangelical the author speaks frankly and personally about environmental issues and his strong feelings that most conservatives fail to take any initiative when it comes to protection and preservation of the environment. Issues such as climate change, global warming, our failing biodiversity, energy and toxins are comparatively discussed. Issues are defined and deliberated, solutions and points of view are given and conclusions are drawn. A frank look is taken at the "players" in the environmental game and the views of the world's top four religions are presented with an in depth look at the lack of response of Christians to clear instructions in the Bible to care for God's creation. The book concludes with an expository and often humorous look at his life as an evangelical, conservative environmentalist. From poverty to success, from sustainability to elite disdain and back again Thomas traces the life of a true, though often hindered environmentalist. Just how does a fundamentalist hippie appear and act? Let's just say that liberals are wary and conservative weary with your juxtaposition of politics, religion and environmentalism. You will find insightful information, honest perspectives with no quarter given, and learn of a great heritage of sustainability and counterintuitive conservatism. This volume along with the first book in the series, "Sustainable Me: Tips and Terms for the Environmentally Conscious" will make valuable additions to your home or digital library.

Have you ever been so obsessed with someone that thoughts of them envelop everything in your life, fill your every waking moment with desire, permeate your dreams...make you crazier than a bag of cats?

Maybe keep them locked away...? Kill for them...? Kill them...? When love or lust hungers you, what would you do?

Rejeté et humilié, il va faire la connaissance de Sémort le Hull, un chasseur d'immondis et ancien maître d'Art. Ensemble, ils vont affronter les défis de leurs destins, à l'aube d'une guerre qui menace les quatre royaumes de Mongloya.

Sustainable Me: Green Tips and Terms for the Environmentally Conscious. In March of 2008 PointsWestGroup.com merged a passion for the sustainable lifestyle and the former real estate web site re-opened as YourEcoTeam.com with seven pages to assist clients in "greening" both their homes and lifestyles. As a Realtor-"Eco-Broker" with value-added green pages on my web site my goal was to help clients make sustainable choices when purchasing or marketing a home. In recent months, my site has become YellowPagesForGreenStuff.com and has a mission of helping visitors to make economically sound, energy saving, and environmentally sustainable choices in their lives. To use a natural analogy, first the hobby web site, the "worm," then the expanded "Yellow Pages" type format (cocoon), and in the future you will see the www.EarthKnot.org (butterfly) emerge as a searchable, socially interactive site. The traffic on the site has dramatically increased from March 2008 to the present with over 1,500,000 hits in the past two years. In addition to increased traffic, there are now over 40 pages with thousands of links to green. Meanwhile, a new book, "Sustainable Me: Green Tips and Terms for the Environmentally Conscious" is being published as in print and digitally to encourage and guide readers to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Become a More "Sustainable You" as this volume shares: How to effectively reuse, reduce, and recycle Organic nourishment, gardening, and storage suggestions Indoor Environment assessments for home and office Energy saving techniques Landscape and garden care instructions Holistic and Wellness insights Practical sustainable tips Green glossary terms Sustainable reading list Charitable opportunities with "green" non-profits Charts to help you fight pollution and become more organic
