Sharing information is a crucial way of being sustainable. A number of writers and organisations make books available for download for free. her are a couple of really good ones about sustainability:

State of the world 2010

State of the World is an annual publication published by the Worldwatch Institute. Each issue has a different theme. State of the World 2010 looks at the consumerism, what it is, why it is perpetuated and, most importantly, how it can be turned around.

You can buy it from the Worldwatch website or you can download a pdf of each chapter for free. Older issues are also available for download.

Worldwatch Institute
The Worldwatch Institute is an independent research organization recognized by opinion leaders around the world for its accessible, fact-based analysis of critical global issues. The Institute's three main program areas include Climate & Energy, Food & Agriculture, and the Green Economy.

Plan B 4.0

Lester R. Brown

Lester R. Brown is a renowned American environmentalist, founder of the Worldwatch Institute, and founder and president of the Earth Policy Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Washington, D.C. The Washington Post called Lester Brown "one of the world's most influential thinkers." The Telegraph of Calcutta refers to him as "the guru of the environmental movement."

Plan B 4.0 is Lester R. Brown's inspirational and practical plan for a sustainable world. This is the fourth 'update' of his original book and is available for download from the Earth Policy website along with several other of Brown's books. I recommend Eco-Economy as well although much of the content is replicated in Plan B.
