Optimistic Environmentalists?

I'm reading Jared Diamond's Collapse (see previous post) right now, and I'm bringing Rachel Carson's Silent Spring with me on vacation. In the interest of not spending my vacation depressed (or bored--I'm going to spend half the vacation in airplanes), can anyone recommend a book for me to bring?

I'm also bringing the collection of short fiction that my friend Greg Adams' story is in, and I've ordered a collection of stories by the author of "Who Goes There" (the story that The Thing was based on), but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm bringing "On Subbing" a zine collection by a sped sub. I'm planning on bringing David Sedaris' latest book, too.

I generally avoid fiction, but I'll read it if it's real funny or if someone recommends the hell out of it.

I'd love it if there was a book by an optimistic environmentalist, but I think such a creature is mythical.

Holy crap, I leave a week from tomorrow!!
