Sustainability Made Simple is an introduction to sustainable living that explores the relationship between everyday life and the global environmental issues of today, including air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change. The authors offer new and relatively easy ways to incorporate sustainability into daily life that doesn't require "going off the grid" or making drastic life changes that take time and cost money.

How do we talk about the environment in the new landscape of digital media? An interdisciplinary collection edited by Heike Graf that draws together research and answers from media and communication studies, social sciences, modern history, and folklore studies. Studying the communicative approaches taken by different groups to ecological issues, the focus is on how these groups tell their distinctive stories of "the environment" with case studies from around the world on activists of radically different kinds: protestors against pulp mills in South America, resistance to mining in the Sami region of Sweden, the struggles of indigenous peoples from the Arctic to the Amazon, gardening bloggers in northern Europe, and neo-Nazi environmentalists in Germany. Each case is examined in relation to its multifaceted media coverage, mainstream and digital, professional and amateur.
