I've been reading Paul Hawken's great book Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came Into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming. Mr Hawken packs plenty of inspiring information into each page and as he outlines a quick global history of environmentalism and expands on his theme of the world's largest movement.
