"Dispelling the eco-hype and celebrating a sustainable model of 'business better than usual,' Anna Clark makes going green seem as American as (organic!) apple pie. Read Green, American Style, then pass it along to a friend. It will change your life--satisfaction guaranteed."--Matthew Sleeth, author of Serve God, Save the Planet, and Nancy Sleeth, author of Go Green, Save Green"Anna Clark provides a practical guide for those wanting to learn more about minimizing the impact their lives have on our planet, especially as consumers. Clark's insights, drawn from her personal journey to living sustainably, make this book a joy to read."--Jim Thomas, vice president of corporate social responsibility, JCPenney"Regardless of our belief system or worldview, we've all asked ourselves, 'What really matters?' and 'How can I make a difference?' Anna Clark asked herself these questions and took action, embarking on a mission to make the world a better place one step at a time. She invites us into the conversations she's having with green leaders and friends across America who are seeking a greener way of living that saves money, our health, and our planet. At a time when many of us are experiencing 'green fatigue,' Green, American Style inspires us to think smarter, cultivate natural-grown leadership skills in others and ourselves, and use our pioneering spirit to cause a ripple effect that will transform our communities, our country, and our world."--Lee Enry Erickson, community manger for SustainLane Creation, www.sustainlane.com/creation-care"In Green, American Style, Anna Clark takes the outsized and overwhelming world of sustainable living--from the living room to the corporate boardroom--and turns it into an engaging and detailed look at the green economy that's rapidly taking root across the country. Through extensive interviews with green leaders ranging from oil tycoons to suburban chicken farmers, Green, American Style makes the case that every individual and every business can play a part in and benefit from the greening of America."--Matthew Wheeland, managing editor of GreenBiz.com"Well done, Anna! The more those of us who are helping our planet recover from the ravages to which we have subjected it are made to seem normal and correct, the more 'Joe and Josephine Citizen' will be inclined to do their bit without thinking that they're behaving on the fringes. This is a book everyone should read!"--Tony Frost, former head of the World Wildlife Foundation in South Africa; author of After the Rain
