Praise for Tapping into Nature:
I feel that what Terrapin is doing is what might be called an inversion. Modernity made nature mechanical and industrial wherever it could, our farms forests and oceans to be sure. What you are talking about is turning industrialism into nature. It is more than tapping into something, it is reversing a long path of reductionism.”
– Paul Hawken
Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist, and author. Starting at age 20, he dedicated his life to sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment. His practice has included 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.
