Starting at age 20, he dedicated his life to sustainability and changing the

starting and running ecological businesses, writing and teaching about the

impact of commerce on living systems, and consulting with governments and

corporations on economic development, industrial ecology, and environmental

policy. He is the author of many articles and books, including his latest book,
