There are a lot of major book selling websites out there that offer green books, but how many of them donate part of their proceeds to sustainable technologies?  As far as we know, only one.  That website is Sustainable Insight, and they not only offer a wide range of sustainable living books (from agriculture, gardening, and sustainable living), and educational DVDs and books, but they also donate $0.50 of each product sold to ventures that are working towards sustainable living, awareness, and conservation.

The Australian based website also recently accepted applications from organizations that wanted to receive funding from their Sustainable Funding Initiative.  You can go vote for organizations by reading their next Sustainable Insight Newsletter, or you can view organizations that applied by going here.

One thing I really like about Sustainable Insight is the huge range of books that they offer.  Most bookstores have their "obligatory green section" and it rarely has anything to offer but they want to look like they've tried.  That is not the case here at Sustainable Insight.  I found books on ecotourism, native plant gardening, sustainable housing, and renewable energy.  They also offer DVDs and educational resources, which is a lot more than I can find at other bookstores.

Another aspect of Sustainable Insight that I was drawn to was the Children's section.  They offer books about raising your child in an environmentally friendly way, but they also have books to read with your children that teach them how to make green choices.  Everyone knows that we're handing our children this planet, and they'll have to pay for the choices we have made.  We need to prepare them for green living as soon as we can, and Sustainable Insights sells a lot of great resources for doing that.

Regardless of if you're in Australia, Africa or America, Sustainable Insights is an amazing resource for green living books and materials.  Be sure to check them out and browse through their books.  I can guarantee that you will find something there that interests you.
