I first became aware of Paul Hawken in the 1980s when he was selling
garden tools and writing books to convince businesspeople that you could make
ethical decisions and still make a profit.
If we had all followed his trajectory of insight, study, and commitment
to action, we would be in a much different place now regarding global warming.
The following two books, which Hawken edited, give both practical ways
to influence climate and new ways to think about our relationships.
Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming
Regeneration: Ending
the Climate Crisis in One Generation
In addition, a search for Regeneration Paul Hawken on YouTube will
return more than one hundred presentations and interviews.
To find a source that is practical, inspiring, realistic, and thoughtful
gives me hope that we can change our hearts and take action.
