How the largest movement in the world came into being, and why no one saw it coming. Paul Hawken has spent over a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice.
From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location, and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media. Like nature itself, it is organizing from the bottom up, in every city, town, and culture. and is emerging to be an extraordinary and creative expression of people’s needs worldwide.

Every generation lives in a unique age, but this is a time like no other.
Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author. Starting at age 20, he has dedicated his life to sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment.

Paul Hawken, a leader on sustainability issues before the word was even being used, spoke to a packed house at the Bagdad Theatre, Portland, OR, on Jan 26, 2012. He urged people to reject terms like “alternate” and to consider how to keep resources local. He also urged them to vote for his friend, Eileen Brady, for Mayor on May 15.
