Plan B 3.0 - Mobilizing to Save Civilization
Published in early 2008, this is basically a timely summary of our civilization's relationship with the planet that sustains it, and recommendations for how to fix it.

Agenda for a New Economy
YERT's interview with David Korten was a highlight of our journey, and we can't wait to share his wisdom with you. In the meantime, he'll share it directly with you through this book. Timely, powerful, and necessary to truly fix things in America, this book is highly recommended by YERT. |

The Great Turning
In this groundbreaking book, David Korten revisits history to skillfully articulate a powerful path towards a sustainable, human-centered civilization-- away from the empire-based power structures we see today. This book and its author provided tremendous inspiration for the creation of YERT. |

Cradle to Cradle
YERT interviewed gDiapers in Oregon, and this company happens to create one of the first "cradle to cradle" certified products on the planet! Read the book, then re-think the way that humans create and "dispose" of products. A must-read. |
