"Slow read but if you're interested in where the future of business- local to international- MUST go then you should read this. The book is almost ten years old but the issues are still very much a hot topic.
Will probably read it again to focus on any parts pertaining to green building, manufacturing etc."
"Given to me by an ex-boyfriend, I was determined to read it the whole dang thing and I did and I had to skim parts of it, but found I was able to refer to it in the past ten years. It's still on my shelf!"
"This book should be required reading for all econ and business majors. However, humanity is already way past the point of turning back the tide of environmental destruction. The damage is still being done, and the only thing we can hope to do now is lessen the impact of this damage. Currently, the majority of environmental destruction is being done in the third world (thanks mainly to the greed of first world countries, or, rather, our insatiable need to maintain our current standard of living). What needs to be done then, is to spread ideas touted in this book to those countries."
"As an American, it often seems that the economic system that forms the basis for (let's face it) my entire life stands in diametric opposition to the preservation of nature and the end of carbon pollution. Paul Hawken and the Lovinses take a hopeful look at the possibilities afforded by the situation in which we find ourselves. Those who have read Cradle to Cradle will find many things here repeated (though this book was published first.) This book exhibits a way of thinking that marries the competition and energy of capitalism with the understanding that some things are invaluable. By shifting pricing practices we can adjust for these oversights and place the burden of pollution back on the polluter, instead of passing it down to the poor or underdeveloped and sending it offshore."
