If you're a CEO or a board member for a non-profit, you'll probably like this book.
I think someone before me noted in their review that the book was probably more impactful when it came out, and I agree with that. To me, it felt at times like a brainstorming session.
It could be a useful read if you're going into one of the many industries that have major impacts on our environment, but there wasn't a lot for the everyday consumer.
It left me with the thought that we don't need to be making factories eco-friendly so much as we need to assess why we still need/use factories to the degree that we do (for my part there, I think the luddites were actually onto something).
