Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution

by: Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins

Boston, MA: Little, Brown and Co., 1999. In this groundbreaking blueprint for a new economy, three leading business visionaries explain how the world is on the verge of a new industrial revolution. The book describes a future in which business and environmental interests increasingly overlap, and in which companies can improve their bottom lines, help solve environmental problems--and feel better about what they do--all at the same time.
