Eco Barons by Edward Humes is a delightfully readable book about the ambitions, adventures, failures, and successes of some famous, and some not-so-famous, sustainable-minded people.

From the lush vistas of Argentina and Chile, the vast plains and coastlines of the U.S.A, to the sustainable nation of Sweden, we are captivated by the the activities and efforts of these passionate crusaders for the environment.

Edward Humes draws us into the land preservation efforts of Doug and Kris Tompkins, Roxanne Quimby, and Ted Turner;
the climate and wildlife protection battles of Kieran Suckling, Peter Galvin, Robin Silver, Kassie Siegel, Brendan Cummings, and Terry Tamminen;
as well as the individual efforts of Andy Frank, Carole Allen, and many others who are active in making the world a more sustainable place to live.

An interesting read from start to finish.
