Cool Rock is America's New Political Party

A really great book on the idea of putting ECO into the Economy is Natural Capitalism. It has many great ideas in it, including the idea of leasing things out instead of purchasing.

At Cool Rock: America's New Political Party, we believe in Regionalization and Conservation as keys to making a greener nation.
