“75 Green Businesses is a compendium of opportunity for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Deeper in scope than its ‘green’ title belies, Croston has developed a virtual barrel full of ducks to shoot when looking for new mission-driven business opportunities.”

—JOHN ROOK

“Anyone wanting to be part of the swelling green wave is in luck with this book. Since I think the green wave is really a green tsunami, now is the time for anyone interested in being part of the rebuilding of the economy to buy this book. This can be your first step in building a greener America.”

—KIT CASSINGHAM

FOUNDER OF SAGE BLOSSOM CONSULTING

“We are at a critical time as a species, a time of knowing the right path to take yet uncertain how to get there. The world our generation has inherited cannot simply be passed on to our heirs without the issues of sustainability addressed. In the near future, every career, every business and every job will address green concerns in some way. This must be the case if we are to survive.

“In his new book, 75 Green Businesses, Glenn Croston provides us with this ever important direction of how to reach this important path. The book is divided into some telling and intriguing chapters, including: Energy, Waste, Food, Water, among others. Browsing through these pages will inspire some directly toward a new career and prompt others to invent new business models. Expect to see a dog-eared copy sitting on every shelf of the next generation of entrepreneurs.”

“As you read this book, looking through the eyes of a man who sees not problems, but opportunities for new ways to inhabit our world, you can’t help but get excited. Often I am asked by eager fans of sustainability, “What can I do to make a difference? I have all this passion and energy, but I don’t know where to start!” Well, now there’s a much better answer than I’ve been able to give before. Quite simply, it’s this: Read this book, then take the first step. Reinvent the work you do and watch what happens. The inspiration you’ll find herein is worth its weight in gold (and sunshine!).”
