You're interested digging into the nitty-gritty of the green movement. And since you have a little extra time (from giving up all the tv watching) you're ready to settle into a good book. 'in defense of food: an eater's manifesto' by michael pollan; 'oil on the brain: adventures from the pump to the pipeline' by lisa margonelli; and 'boiling point' by ross gelbspan are fantastic reads for your burgeoning base of eco-knowledge.
