Earlier today I posted a review of a new book; The Carbon-Free Home: 36 Remodeling Projects to Help Kick the Fossil -Fuel Habit.

With that in mind, I figured the timing was right to share some previous building/home resource books and DVDs that we’ve seen here at Offbeat in the past.

• Offbeat Worthy Holiday Gifts (there’s an amazing book and a cool DVD listed in this post, among other items).
• My Favorite Building DVD - the contest is over (ignore that) but the review is worth reading.
  
• Earthship Coffee Table Book
• Good list of green building books
• Last Call for Planet Earth
• Garbage Warrior: A Film by Oliver Hodge
