Newt Gingrich’s New Book “A Contract with the Earth”
I was doing my usual morning news reading on the Internet and on www.foxnews.com they had a video promoting Newt Gingrich’s new book. As with his infamous “Contract with America” when he was Speaker of the House, which laid out steps to follow to get the political house back in order, this book lays out steps to get the Environment back in order.
Here is an excerpt form the book: “Americans know that shaping a healthy environment is the one challenge that eclipses all others. Without a green and productive Earth, Clean air to breath, and healthy streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans, life as we know it cannot survive. But where is America’s environmental playbook?” I have not had a chance to read the book yet, but plan on picking it up this weekend at Books a Million. I am glad that we can get a conservatives view of the global warming issue that can balance out the views of Al Gore in “The Inconvenient Truth”.
A piece of the plan will be to conserve and have a sustainable mindset in whatever we do. This includes packaging. How do we balance the Environment, Economics and Social aspects to attain sustainability? If one or the other is out of kilter sustainability cannot be achieved.
After reading the book, I will post a review. Another good book on how going “Green” can be profitable for your business is…”Green to Gold”
A challenge to even the hardnosed environmentalists…Read the book and make post your comments.
