Books for Sustainable Living

About Books for Sustainable Living

The Working Centre seeks to engage in conversations by featuring books that follow themes such as regeneration, ecological economics, living simply, the changing nature of work, roots of social and cultural disconnection, and public intellectuals like Ivan Illich, Wendell Berry, and Robin Wall Kimmerer to name just some of the people and ideas we follow.  Books for Sustainable Living help us to highlight and celebrate books and resources that challenge our habits and open us to new ideas and thoughts.

A cozy corner with bookshelves displaying a variety of titles on themes like sustainability and community living at The Working Centre administrative office in Kitchener, Ontario.

Books are available for purchase through the listings of books that appear in our quarterly newspaper – Good Work News.  As well, selections of books are available in Fresh Ground Café and soon-to-reopen Queen Street Commons Café.
