Book excerpt: The Restoration Economy reveals the previously undocumented trillion-dollar global industries that are restoring our natural and manmade environments. Restorative development is rapidly overtaking new development because we are running out of things to develop. Most natural areas are already either farmed or degraded, and cities have built all the way to their borders. However, there is no lack of things to redevelop and restore. Storm Cunningham surveys the wide range of restoration industries and points out the connections among them. He shows, for example, how the restoration of a river ecosystem can have a major impact on the commercial success of a redeveloped historic urban waterfront. Written for a broad range of audiences, The Restoration Economy is an entertaining blend of business, science and economics that details exciting new business and investment opportunities in this dynamic economic sector.

Book Synopsis Restoring the Shining Waters by : David Brooks
Download or read book Restoring the Shining Waters written by David Brooks and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No sooner had the EPA established the Superfund program in 1980 to clean up the nation’s toxic waste dumps and other abandoned hazardous waste sites, than a little Montana town found itself topping the new program’s National Priority List. Milltown, a place too small to warrant a listing in the U.S. Census, sat alongside a modest hydroelectric dam at the confluence of the Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers. For three-quarters of a century, arsenic-laced waste from some of the world’s largest copper-mining operations had accumulated behind the dam. Soon, Milltown became the site of Superfund’s first dam removal and watershed restoration, marking a turning point in U.S. environmental history. The story of this dramatic shift is the tale of individuals rallying to reclaim a place they valued beyond its utility. In Restoring the Shining Waters, David Brooks gives an intimate account of how local citizens—homeowners, university scientists, county health officials, grassroots environmentalists, business leaders, and thousands of engaged residents—brought about the removal of Milltown Dam. Interviews with townspeople, outside environmentalists, mining executives, and federal officials reveal how the everyday actions of individuals got the dam removed and, in the process, pushed Superfund to allow more public participation in decision making and to emphasize restoration over containment of polluted environments. A federal program designed to deal with the toxic legacies of industrialization thus became a starting point for restoring America’s most damaged environments, largely through the efforts of local communities. With curiosity, conviction, and a strong sense of place, the small town of Milltown helped restore an iconic western river valley—and in doing so, shaped the history of Superfund and modern environmentalism.

Download or read book Econation written by John C. Krieg and published by Ivy House Publishing Group. This book was released on 2006 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For all the big ideas of the new restorative environmental movement, perhaps it will be these little battles that will enable it to gain enough momentum to win the war. This could be that one small thing I was talking about in the preface. Wouldnt it be ironic if the battle of the American environmental movement was won by taking the country back one yard at a time?" Do as we say, dont do as we do has been an American environmental mandate to the rest of the world for far too long. The time is now at hand to lead by example, which means restoring our own homeland before we can encourage or expect the other nations of the world to restore theirs. With an emphasis placed on American accountability towards environmental problems rampant on American soil, Econation is a call to action in our own back yards.
