A percentage of the profits from this book will be invested in the Hirshberg Sustainability Fund at the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The fund is designed to combat climate change and support organic family farmers.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation has been improving the quality of life in New Hampshire communities since 1962. It builds and manages a collection of charitable funds, totaling more than $400 million, created by individuals, families, and corporations. The foundation is also a neutral voice, frequently playing the role of convener and catalyst on a broad spectrum of issues—local and global—that affect the state of New Hampshire. In 2006, the foundation awarded $30 million in grants and scholarships. Based in Concord, the foundation roots itself in communities across the state through seven regions including Lakes, Manchester, Monadnock, Nashua, North Country, Piscataqua, and Upper Valley.

Gary Hirshberg is an environmental activist, a leader in the organic movement, a successful businessman—and an optimist. In this proactive book, Hirshberg argues that market forces can save the world, instead of destroying it. I hope he's right.
