2 out of 5 stars A missed opportunity   September 26, 2002
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this book with much enthusiasm. Being a strong believer in both capitalism and the environment, this book looked like a potential bridge to me.

Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. The book focuses too much on the servings of cocktail parties rather than details on the implementations of successful green projects. The book did bring some interesting topics. Fascinating projects which their inceptors should be strongly thanked. A missed opportunity. The boring writing style made it hard to read through the pages and I believe that THIS combination of ecologist and journalist did not succeed.

To summarize: reading the prologue or table of contents is enough.
