Praise for Tapping into Nature from Paul Hawken

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
