Verfasserangabe Paul Hawken
Annotation The world has changed in the seventeen years since the controversial initial publication of Paul Hawken's "The Ecology of Commerce", a stirring treatise about the perceived antagonism between ecology and business. Yet Hawken's impassioned argument - that business both causes the most egregious abuses of the environment and, crucially, holds the most potential for solving our sustainability problems - is more relevant than ever.
Containing updated and revised material for a new audience, "The Ecology of Commerce" presents a compelling vision of the restorative (rather than destructive) economy we must create, centered on eight imperatives:

- Reduce energy carbon emissions 80 percent by 2030 and total natural resource usage 80 percent by 2050.
- Provide secure, stable and meaningful employment for people everywhere.
- Be self-organizing rather than regulated or nomally mandated.
- Honor market principles.
- Be more rewarding than our present way of life.
- Restore habitats, ecosystems, and societies to their optimum.
- Rely on current income.
- Be fun and engaging, and strive for an aesthetic outcome.

"When I first read Paul Hawken's "The Ecology of Commerce" in 1994, he change my life, my worldview, and my company - all for the better. Read this updated edition with an open mind and gain a clearer understanding of the complex relationship between business and the natural environment." - Ray Anderson, founder and chair, Interface, Inc.
