On May 29th, Financial Times Press will release my new book, The Truth About Green Business. With your help (see below), this little book can make a big difference — for business, the economy and the environment.
The FT Press “Truth About” series is kind of like “… For Dummies” — except not for dummies. Each book in the series is focused, potent, specific and designed to put great tools in the hands of busy people who get things done.
The Truth About Green Business packs my nearly 40 years of sustainable business and policy experience into 52 focused “truths” that provide a practical roadmap — for large companies and small — to make money and make sense by putting these truths to work. (Check the next post for a complete summary.)
Here are just a few of the early reviews (more reviews here!):
