we know the threat to our

The answers may lie between the covers of this book. Ignition brings together some of the world’s finest thinkers and advocates to jump-start the ultimate green revolution. Including celebrated writers like
Bill McKibben and
renowned scholars like
Gus Speth,
as well as young activists,
the authors draw on direct experience in grassroots organization, education, law, and social leadership.
Their approaches are various,
from building coalitions
to win political battles
to rallying shareholders
to change corporate behavior.
But they share a belief that
private fears about deadly heat waves and disastrous hurricanes can translate into powerful public action.
For anyone who feels compelled to do more than change their light bulbs or occasionally carpool, Ignition is an essential guide. Combining incisive essays with success stories and web resources,
the book helps readers answer the most important question we all face:
“What can I do?”

This collection, developed from
The Natural Step's conference on Sustainability and Innovation in 2002, provides radical ideas for generating
a new perspective on
the dynamics of business systems.
"Ants" symbolizes
the lessons to be learned from nature and
the dependence of individual beings
on broader, complex systems.
"Galileo" embodies
brilliance in perceiving and proving
that the current paradigm is flawed.
"Gandhi" exemplifies
exceptional compassion
in fighting for fundamental change.
All of these attributes are increasingly relevant in a world where we are experiencing both a steady decline in life-supporting resources and rising demands.
Recognition of these challenges is sparking innovation within the private sector, where the first glimmers of systemic change can be seen. The book examines the emergence of 21st-century enterprises that recognize their reliance on broad social and ecological systems ("ants"),
incorporate sparks of genius rooted in rigorous analyses ("Galileo"), and acknowledge the importance of compassion and determination within any endeavor ("Gandhi").

Ray Anderson, Gretchen Daily,
Karl-Henrik Robert, and many others.
