"Although this book was written in the early 1990s, many of the ideas that he addresses are still applicable in today's society. Hawken is incredibly smart and addresses many of the problems in today's capitalist society that are degrading the environment. He also discusses many ways in which we could lessen our huge impact on the environment, which basically focus on corporations (and not citizen taxpayer dollars)being responsible for cleaning up their own environmental mess. Inspiring, yet since it was written in 1993 and not much change has been made, it has obviously not inspired enough people! This book is somewhat tough to get through, as Hawken's sentence structure is fairly complex. It is slow and intense reading, but a good read if you are interested in environmental issues."
"A very good book. I have to read again with a highlighter in hand. What's scary is that this book was written over tne years ago and we haven't even started to address the issues that Hawken raises concerns about (monoculture, crashing species populations, rampant environmental destruction... and the list goes on & on). If we don't start down the road to a restorative eoconomy, we're toast."
"This is a really interesting book which tries to come up with radical environmental solutions by reinventing rather than thwarting business. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was because it took me 9 months to finally finish it (I'm not motivated to read nonfiction that fast)! It was written in 1989, and it's erie that we are in a similar recession today to the one that was going on when he wrote it, after the savings and loan debacle of the 80s. The same stuff is all applicable today. And sadly, we haven't made enough environmental progress since then to even be able to tell that he didn't write it six months ago. Highly recommended."
