This is part of the Jetson Green birthday giveaway, so make sure to leave a comment by midnight Friday, July 25, 2008, if you want to be considered for the contest.*
If there’s anything that I’ve learned from you the reader, it’s that you’re (1) concerned for the environment and (2) smart, engaged, demanding, and relentless in your pursuit of quality information. For that reason, I’ve decided to giveaway two books together as kind of a bundle to one commenter.* The first book is Worldchanging: A User’s Guide to the 21st Century in paperback. The forward was written by Al Gore and the rest was edited by Alex Steffen — it’s 600 pages full of legit solutions. The second book is Nature and Selected Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson. What can I say about this book other than it contains over 15 classic writings that have influenced thousands and thousands of people. Both books are highly influential, both books are perfect for smart Jetson Green readers.
How to Purchase (if you don’t win):
Worldchanging and Nature are both nice to have around and re-read. If you don’t win and you want to pick up a copy, feel free to give Amazon a try for both Worldchanging and Nature.
*Please read and review the giveaway terms prior to leaving a comment. To be considered for this giveaway, your comment must be entered prior to midnight mst on Friday, July 25, 2008. Good luck!
Would love to win! Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Jetson Green! I would love to win these books to help make the world a greener place.

Boy, I really hate winning things. Surely I hope I do not win. Winning is not for everyone, you know.
… good lord I hope I win. Winning totally rules.
If everyone read Emerson every day, the planet would’ve been saved by now.
Thanks for reminding me to go back to read him.
Congratulations Jill Herbers, you have won this giveaway for Worldchanging & Nature! I will be emailing you shortly to arrange for details of shipping.
Happy Birthday

PLEASE COUNT ME IN ON THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY 🙂
Extremely rewarding prizes! Thank you for the chance!
I am so eager to have more information and inspiration on environmental issues. Thank you for the giveaway.
What an inspired idea to combine these two books into a single giveaway! The Emerson really represents 19th-century environmentalism, and *Worldchanging* offers a way to extend those concerns into the 2st century. . .cool combo! Thanks for the chance to win!
i dont own either of these, but would love to!!
Another big Happy Birthday wish. Please count me in to win.
Worldchanging is on my wishlist!
it to everyone I know interested in sustainable building!
Thanks for the giveaway opp!
