Working Solutions:Gaining Traction in ‘The Real World’
“Solving the world’s urgent environmental problems takes bold ideas from leaders and experts in many fields. …Most of all, it takes a conviction that these problems are largely solvable, and a tough-minded commitment to seeking the solutions which gain traction in the real world.”
—Ward Woods
