Rewealth!: Stake Your Claim in the $2 Trillion Development Trend That's Renewing the World

These days, millions think that they are "green" or "sustainable" because they buy organic Cheetos and two dollars of carbon offset on some website. Meanwhile, the real work of ecological sustainability remains for future generations. This real work will involve changing the way business is done by fixing up broken systems and making a profit at the same time. Not an easy task - but luckily one man has a clear vision to offer us. Storm Cunningham has written an absolutely brilliant book that is a prescient look at what real sustainability will require. He tells tale after tale of the leaders of business and government who found ways to profit while fixing watersheds, revitalizing waterfronts, improving schools, cleaning up toxic waste sites, repairing national economies, and much more. While the current "green movement" is stuck in telling us what NOT to do, Cunningham gives us an expert guide of what we CAN do to improve our world and even make a few bucks. Every business and government executive in the world needs to read this book twice!

I've been a Storm Cunningham fan for several years. The Restoration Economy defined opportunities that had the potential for unifying preservationists, developers, coastal restoration experts, government officials and everyone else concerned with our natural and built environment. reWealth! describes Storm's new Renewal Engine which has been expanded to include socio-economic factors such as culture and education and describes a number of successes in it's use. Mayor Ray Nagin and the New Orleans City Council have been provided copies of reWealth!. I encourage everyone to get their own. Several friends gave copies of The Restoration Economy to college age relatives hoping they would catch the trends and reWealth! is even more exciting! Thanks Storm!
