Strategy for Sustainability will be released on Kindle on July 6th on amazon.com. The hardcover books were finished first because I wanted to write a special “bonus chapter” for the Kindle on the practical steps you can take to implement a personal sustainability project in your company.
I’ll post it here the day the Kindle version is released.

I’ve long been a fan and friend of Amory Lovins from the Rocky Mountain Institute. Like me, he was mentored by David Brower, the legendary executive director of the Sierra Club.

I remember having arguments with him when his work took him to the Pentagon and the oil industry, but he has never blinked.
