Author: Friedman, Thomas L

"Green is the new red, white, and blue,"declares the best-selling author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree and The World Is Flat. Friedman proposes an ambitious national strategy he calls geo-greenism, which can not only save the planet from overheating but make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure in the coming era. Large-scale green-oriented practices and technologies everywhere from Washington to Wal-Mart are only way to avoid major economic and environmental disruptions. But it's time to get serious. 256 pp.
