PermaCulture
From their website:

"Most design systems are defined by a "market driven" ethic. Such designs are subservient to the conclusions of a short term cost/benefit analysis, discounting or ignoring such factors as environmental degradation or destruction of human community. Permaculture departs from any other design system in that it is guided by a common sense ethical system. This system forms the criteria for design decisions. The difference is in the ethic:

Contour Fencing - Uses cattle tracks to stop runoff and erosion. Fences laid out with a slight (1:500) drop towards watering troughs on the ridgeline. Cowpaths naturally parallel the fence and lead rainwater out of the valleys to ridges for infiltration. Straight fences and watering cattle in valley bottoms rapidly accelerates erosion and pollutes streams."

The Story of Stuff
From their website:

"From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever."

There's a kids book, too!
