Title: "Building the Green Economy: Success Stories from the Grassroots"
Authors: Kevin Danaher, Shannon Biggs and Jason Mark
Synopsis: Title says it all. Why the growth of a green economy is cause for celebration. I heard about it on Your Call Radio.
Assessment: This book is a Bay Area publication so, I say with all do self-deprecation, it tends to pound a little to hard on straw houses (do we really need a smackdown of antebellum slavery practices?). But the 99% has exactly the right attitude. More citizens than ever feel empowered to shape their own destinies, that of their families, neighborhoods and world, in a mode that promotes sustainability, understanding and human potential. And it doesn’t, as we have spent every moment since the end of World War II thinking, have to be yoked to being angry, bitter and broke. There is a future in making money, doing right by each other and the earth, and living in abundance rather than scarcity. If you can’t get inspired by that message, I can’t help you. If you can, read this book immediately.
Verdict: If the words "Green Economy" get you all fluttery, get this book now.
