Other Voices TV: Building the Green Economy

A conversation with Kevin Danaher and Shannon Biggs Co-Authors of the new book: Building the Green Economy: Success Stories from the Grassroots After centuries of economic activity based on extraction, exploitation, and depletion, we now face undeniable environmental threats. New business models that save or restore natural resources are critical. But how can we translate that insight into more sustainable practices? Building the Green Economy shows how community groups, families, and individual citizens have taken action to protect their food and water, clean up their neighborhoods, and strengthen their local economies. Their unlikely victories—over polluters, unresponsive bureaucracies, and unexamined routines—dramatize the opportunities and challenges facing the local green economy movement. Other Voices is a monthly TV program produced by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center in Palo Alto, CA
