"The only solution for the condition of our planet today is for each of us to do all we can to preserve and enhance the natural capital on which the future of our children depends. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the integrity of the ecosystems on which all life and thus all economic activity depends is vital for a sustainable future. Green Remodeling is a tool you can use today to make your contribution to ensuring a secure future for all the world's children."
--Hunter Lovins, president of Natural Capitalism, Inc., and author of Natural Capitalism
"Just wanted to let you know that I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of Green Remodeling for Christmas...It's good to have all this information in such an easy reference book. It also sounds very realistic - not a pie-in-the-sky look at implementing green strategies."
--Scott R. Armstrong, Yolles Partnership, Inc.
