Welcome!

Although I've always loved to write, I certainly never aspired to be a published author.  However, the planets have just seemed to align around this project!  New research interests, students eager for dialogue on pressing global issues, the widespread  media coverage on all things green  and the keen interest from the business community asking for  specific guidance seemed to all converge around writing this book!

My hope is that this book will empower you to embrace green business ideals and strategies that effect change in your individual lives and professions.

About "Green Business Practices for Dummies":

Excerpt from Intro:
“Clearly all the challenges and trends the global village faces today are interrelated; fixing one stand-alone problem may easily come at the expense of exacerbating another.  For business, sustainable development requires looking at the whole picture and understanding the symptoms of a flawed system.”

Excerpt from Buy Local (Chapter 11):
“Buying local may seem like a rather quaint idea, much like typewriters and poodle skirts.  Au Contraire! It’s more than a movement; it’s a revolution – an opportunity that’s loaded with potential and serves as a key component of a sustainable business model.”
