Sustainability Book Club Fall 2026

The Sustainability Committee invites you to join our Sustainability Book Club! Each semester we’ll read a different sustainability-focused book, then come together to discuss it and share our thoughts. Fall semester is reserved for fiction novels while the spring is reserved for non-fiction.

The Fall 2026 Book Club selection is a selection of short stories from the Grist Imagine 2200 Collection. Meetings are on Fridays from 1-2pm on October 9th and November 6th. The stories are available online for free and can be found at the link below.
