Libraries, people! Libraries!
It's books for free. What else is there to say? Sure you have to give them back in the end, but how many books do you read more than once anyway? Save trees, save money...go get a library card.
Also, the excuse that "they never have what I'm looking for" is no longer valid. Most libraries now allow online book reservation, and you are notified by email when your request shows up at your local branch. I picked up two last night that were available a mere five days after I posted my requests (though a third is going to take a while to show up, but it's a new release). In the meantime, I'll keep myself busy with less popular but equally as satisfying oldies but goodies.

Kermit had it right...it's not that easy being green.
About YBG
Hi, I'm Dale, a twenty-something, eco-nerd living in San Francisco. I'm a biologist, almost-vegetarian, and the best environmentalist I can be...but that's the point, it's not that easy being green. Be it money, will power, social pressure, or whatever, the average, like totally hip, young person knows they can be greener than they actually are. This blog is for all the good-intentioned people out there who struggle every day about whether they can afford both the grass-fed beef AND that six-pack of Anchor Steam. Those who feel a slight twinge of guilt every time they get in their car when they're late for work, and those who jealously guard their secret love of looooong, HOT showers. This blog will talk about the trials and tribulations of being young, broke, and green...and how to overcome them. It may not be easy, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
