ABOUT THE BOOK

John Giordanengo's decades of research and global interviews are synthesized into a truly unique book on the root causes of social and environmental challenges and natural rules for restoring our economies to a sustainable state. Giordanengo’s book, Ecosystems as Models for Restoring Our Economies (To a Sustainable State), unpacks nature’s blueprints for creating a more sustainable and just world. His first edition was a finalist in the CO book awards, and this 2nd edition is gaining international praise even before being published.

In a turbulent 21st century, one thing is certain: what worked in the past is likely not going to work in the future. How might economic development be used as a driver (not a roadblock) of meaningful change? From a focus on strengthening regional economies to regenerative agriculture to renewable energy, and regional manufacturing to sustainable forestry, he highlights practical strategies for those who care deeply about resolving environmental and social issues, while sustaining our economic needs.

When we grasp the solid bonds between ecology and economy, we find ourselves moving beyond “doing less harm” to actively renewing both our environment and our communities as one seamless whole. In the process, great opportunity awaits. A must read for consumers, business leaders, non-profit leaders, and regional planners dedicated to a just and sustainable future.
