with Green Gurus: The Collective Wisdom of Environmental Movers and Shakers" to

The collected wisdom of some of the world's most influential environmental

including the economic viability of choosing green routes. Interviewees include
energy guru Amory Lovins, former Friends of the Earth Vice Chair Tony Juniper,

sustainability.
