There is a debate, subdued at times, between various approaches toward changing the planet to the better. In many ways, my viewpoint (on the optimist side) tends toward the 'enviro-capitalist', thinking that we can work to structure the economy to make the right choice, the easy (and preferred) choice....

Do You Need to "Believe" in Climate Change?
Andrew Winston | Posted April 22, 2008 | Business
Another Earth Day is here. It's probably trite to say, "Hey, every day is Earth Day", but I'll give it a go. Yes, we need to worry about Earth stuff every day, but not just because the planet is in peril - which is a pretty good reason. Think of...

There's been much talk about the white working class in recent days, but few white working class voices in the debate. Carl Davidson is white working class to his core, an early leader of Students for a Democratic Society, one of the key organizers of the 2002 Chicago anti-war rally...

Large-Scale Green Business Risk
Andrew Winston | Posted March 17, 2008 | Business
I wrote a few weeks ago about Virgin Airline's biofuel test flight. While it was a bit of a publicity stunt, it was also a good thing — we need experimentation to find ways to reduce carbon emissions in all industries. But another news item HuffPo linked to this...

One problem we face with all our well-meaning legislative efforts is that not all laws get enforced equally. Let's face it, no matter what color you are, areas where poverty exists are last on the list when it comes to enforcing our environmental laws.
One trick to making sure...

The Invisible Hand Can Have a Green Thumb
Frances Beinecke | Posted March 5, 2008 | Business
2007 was the year that America's business pages turned green. Everybody wanted to get into the act. Companies from well-known leaders like Whole Foods and Toyota to historical laggards GM and ExxonMobil were touting their plans to save the planet.
There's no question that there is a...
Make Money? Save The World? Gary Just Wrote The Book.
James Boyce | Posted February 23, 2008 | Living
Fellow Huffington Post Blogger, Stonyfield Farm CE-Yo, and all around good guy Gary Hirshberg has just written a great book that takes head on, and shreds completely, perhaps the single biggest myth about the environment and business - the falsehood that being good to the earth is going to...
When Green Gets Sleazy
Peggy Drexler | Posted January 31, 2008 | Living
Something called the Little Green Book showed up in my e-mail box the other day. It's a very creative viral marketing piece from Morgan Stanley that allows friends to pass on 50 things that any household can do to "make life greener and help tackle climate change."
Unfortunately, this well-done...

I'm convinced that smart, hardworking people can profit from practicing what many people call the R's of effective waste management. The R's aren't new, but the order of priority is much more important than people realize. Specifically:
- Reduce or redesign (or both) by using less material and...
Energy In America: Carruption And Obscene Cornography
Harry Fuller | Posted December 20, 2007 | Business
It's a clear double victory for the White House and its oil/auto allies. Perhaps their biggest win since U.S. soldiers occupied the Iraqi oil fields.
In the morning the President signs a new energy law giving the auto industry another twelve years to catch up with China. Then in the...
A Public Policy Gimme: Financing Green Construction and Retrofits
David Roberts | Posted December 17, 2007 | Politics
Steve Heckeroth's piece "Solar is the solution" has been recommended all over the green blogosphere, first by Robert Rapier, I think. It's great reading, but I wanted to hone in on one thing he mentions -- a piece of public policy that has been woefully under-hyped.
To wit:...

If a tree falls in the forest, will Wal-Mart hear the sound?
Apparently not, according to an environmental investigative report released this week on Wal-Mart's unsustainable timber procurement practices. The new study says Wal-Mart's "good wood" procurement policy only looks good on paper.
Last month, Wal-Mart released a 59-page...
