With more than two decades of experience at the high-profile environmental group, Amy Larkin might be expected to publish a screed against corporations for their polluting greed. Instead, “Environmental Debt” highlights the efforts companies such as Puma, Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola…have already made to reduce waste, change their supply chains and embrace environmentally sustainable practices. Larkin…puts her pitch in terms businesspeople understand: It all comes down to money. Successful companies…understand that they will pay more for resources and production down the line if they don’t invest now in energy-efficient upgrades and other changes. – Associated Press

Amy Larkin’s terrific new book… explodes the myth of the contradiction between environmental protection and business. We can have it all, she says – a prosperous economy and a clean environment.
