Local Action: The New Paradigm in Climate Change Policy (ISBN 1584656727)

Great read for those involved in local government:
This book provides a great overview of steps local governments can take to reduce their contribution to climate change. The authors provide a number of examples of municipalities, including Portland, OR and Fort Collins, CO, that have taken steps to address climate change. In a time when one seemingly can't turn on a tv or open a newspaper without seeing dire mentions of global warming, this work takes a hopeful approach and demonstrates how even seemingly small actors can make meaningful contributions to combating this problem. Highly recommended, especially for those working in local government policy.
