Críticas

Frances Beinecke is not just our great environmental leader, she's also a remarkable thinker and writer. This book comes at a crucial moment in the environmental fight, and it will make a powerful difference! -- Bill McKibben, author of "Radio Free Vermont" Frances Beinecke has long been a leader in solutions-based environmentalism, working across the political spectrum to turn common sense into common ground. In this book, she trains that approach on the greatest environmental challenge of our time: climate change. She maps out a course of action, and she shows how it can prepare generations of Americans for success in the fast-growing global market for the clean energy solutions of tomorrow. -- Carol M. Browner, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1993-2001; Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, 2009-2011 Our politics may be divided over the issue of climate change, but our people are not. Increasingly, Americans are united around the need to address this gathering threat and the urgency to act. In this book, Frances Beinecke, one of the nation's most effective environmental leaders, shows us how to do that in a way that can help make Americans more prosperous, more competitive, and more secure. That's an approach people of all political perspectives can surely get behind. -- William K. Reilly, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1989-1993; Co-Chairman, the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, 2010-2011
