Summary:	"The world has changed in the seventeen years since the controversial initial publication of Paul Hawken's '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 and resonant 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."--From publisher description.
