Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist and author. Since the age of 20, he’s 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.
President Bill Clinton called Paul’s book Natural Capitalism one of the five most important books in the world. Hawken’s latest, Blessed Unrest, describes the magnitude and power of civil society to address humanity’s challenges.
