"Architecture to Zucchini" is an exploration of socially responsible businesses and the passionate leaders who drive them. These are the pioneers who have put the principles of sustainability to work. In the process, they've built thriving companies and sparked regional economic development. It also features insights of nationally recognized leaders of organizations that focus on sustainability — those who serve industry, education, communities and government.
Through interviews and tours in 12 case studies, these innovators reveal the impact of merging economic, social and environmental considerations in their business plans and operations. And they share everything from lessons learned to the challenges they've faced, even the unexpected opportunities for strategic alliances within and outside their industries.
"Architecture to Zucchini" is especially designed to support higher education curriculum on sustainability, business/entrepreneurship/ management, as well as companies considering adoption of sustainable practices and organizations with missions related to sustainability. This program also is for industry organizations, individuals interested in learning about sustainability and libraries for their ecology, environmental and socially responsible business collections.
