	Paul Hawken - The Next Reformation
		Paul: Globally and nationally we are still looking at this set of problems as distinct and unconnected rather than seeing them as inextricably bound to the underlying assumptions that inform linear industrial systems.
		Paul: In many cases, the leaders are companies that would bore or shock you, either because most people have never heard of them or because they've been some of the worst despoilers of natural systems in their products and processes.
		Some of these companies are now becoming quite taken by factor four efficiencies because they have huge problems, both from the past and in the present, and thus they have the most to gain from a wholesale revision of what business they're in, how they conduct themselves, and how they design their processes.

	The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken - A Book Review by Scott London
		In this eloquent and visionary book, Hawken describes a third way, a path that is inherently sustainable and restorative but which uses many of the historically effective organizational and market techniques of free enterprise.
		Central to Hawken's argument are two basic facts: the age of industrialism, as we know it, has come to an end; and we are confronting a global ecological crisis that is considerably more acute than most of us realize.
		The drive to develop a restorative economy must come from businesses themselves, Hawken insists, for "no other institution in the modern world is powerful enough to foster the necessary changes." The key is to inspire a willing, uncoerced, and even joyous redesign of the way we conduct business.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Paul Hawken: The Long Green
		Hawken noted a long-standing tension in environmentalism, between "love of nature" and "alienation from nature;" it's a split, in his view, between whether the economy is a subset of the environment, or whether the environment is a subset of the economy.
		And this is where Hawken's talk shifted from a history lesson to a clarion call.
		Hawken articulated, in passionate language, a vision that aligned with and expanded what we've been saying here at WorldChanging: there's a revolution taking place, one which is powered by (and in turn powers) the efforts of thousands of disparate movements, groups, networks, ideas, and people, all over the world.

		With mounting confidence, Lovins, Lovins and Hawken predict that the latest industrial revolution will create "a vital economy that uses radically less material and energy." Businesses that recognize the trend toward this new type of industrialism will gain advantage over their less alert competitors.
