Books & Visuals 

{{to expand your environmental awareness}}  


With the attention span of 0 - 1 second these days most of the content that we consume is visual or auditory: binging our knowledge. 

Documentaries used to be associated with granular facts, and poor visuals. Okay, that sounds harsh, but am I wrong? The song and dance between visuals and sound these days have gotten MUCH better in documentaries. 

What I'm trying to say is HERE YOU GO - a list of books & visuals that are worth binging. Hopefully to increase your knowledge on environmental issues, and how you play a part in them. 

PLEASE DO shoot me an email if you have an addition for the list: info@diatomcollective.com <3
