Consider the power the Internet provides us: Paul Hawken the author of The Ecology of Commerce and most recently, Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming. The world's largest movement has no name, no leader, and no ideology, but may directly involve more than 100 million people, said this green business pioneer. Speaking at a talk sponsored by the Long Now Foundation, Paul Hawken, co-founder of garden supply store Smith & Hawken and today recognized as a leader in eco-minded business and green design, spoke about two of his latest projects: Blessed Unrest, his new book tracing the emergence and growth of this still unnamed movement, and WiserEarth.org, an online community that embodies concepts explored in his book by networking more than 100,000 environmental and justice organizations.
