Summer Reading Giveaway Week 2!
Summer is here! What does that mean? If your high school was like mine, it means stacks of summer reading. We here at TriplePundit work hard to bring you all the news you need to know about sustainability in business - and we do it all year round. But sometimes, let's face it, you need to go deeper into a subject - and there are many great books to help you do that.
That's why every week this summer, we'll be giving away a CSR-related book to one lucky reader.
Last week's book was Raising Dough: The Complete Guide to Financing a Socially Responsible Food Business by Elizabeth Ü. And the winner, chosen by random number generator, is David Jaber. Congratulations! Thanks to everyone else who entered. Still want some summer reading? Don't give up, we have a brand new book to offer this week!
This week's book is Power from the People: How to organize, finance and launch local energy projects written by Greg Pahl with a forward by Van Jones.

You got it! Here are the 2 steps you need to take to enter:It doesn’t have to be that way. In Power from the People, energy expert Greg Pahl explains how American communities can plan, finance, and produce their own local, renewable energy that is reliable, safe, and clean.
