Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution

84 reviews
Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins, ...

Back Bay Books, 2000

an optimistic vision of the future
I am about halfway through this now and I find the book very engaging and not difficult to read. I do agree that the current edition is dated. Kyoto costs too much? 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 is a pipe dream? This book will go a long way to persuading you that we will meet that target and more before 2050 and *make* money. The compelling question is - why aren't we further ...

A Road Map for Natural Capitalism (HBR Classic)
Amory B. Lovins, L. Hunter Lovins, ...

Harvard Business Review, 2007

No one would run a business without accounting for its capital outlays. Yet in 1999, when this article was originally published, most companies overlooked one major capital component--the value of the earth's ecosystem services. It was a staggering omission: Calculations at that time placed the value of those services--water storage, atmosphere regulation, climate control, and others--at $33 trillion per year. Not accounting for that cost has ...

Bob Willard

New Society Publishers, 2005

Great resource for corporate insiders
I've been looking for quite awhile for a book that provides support for introducing sustainability thinking into business planning in a way that might appeal to CEOs. I didn't find one until I found this new book by Bob Willard. (Note: Hunter Lovins provides a foreword). Bob Willard claims this book fills a unique niche, and as far as I know he's right. And it's an important niche for readers ...
