Silent
Spring - Sound Media Player (632.9 C239s Sound Media Player)
Silent Spring offered the first shattering look at widespread
ecological degradation and touched off an environmental awareness
that still exists. Rachel Carson's book focused on the poisons
from insecticides, weed killers, and other common products as
well as the use of sprays in agriculture, a practice that led
to dangerous chemicals to the food source. Carson argued that
those chemicals were more dangerous than radiation and that for
the first time in history, humans were exposed to chemicals that
stayed in their systems from birth to death.

Owen, David
Green
Metropolis: Why Living Smaller, Living Closer, and Driving Less
are the Keys to Sustainability - Book on Disc (363.7 Ow22g
Book on Disc)
According to Owen, New York City is a model of sustainability:
its extreme density and compactness—and horrifically congested
traffic—encourage a carfree lifestyle centered on walking
and public transit; its massive apartment buildings use the heat
escaping from one dwelling to warm the ones adjoining it. As a
result New Yorkers' per capita greenhouse gas emissions are less
than a third of the average American's.
