Inspirational Reading

 by Janet Storts

 

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.
