We buy "herbal" shampoos containing industrial chemicals that can threaten our health or contaminate the environment. We dive down to see coral reefs, not realizing an ingredient in our sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef. We wear organic cotton T-shirts, but don't know that its dyes may put factory workers at risk for leukemia. In <i>Ecological Intelligence</i>, Daniel Goleman reveals why so man of the products that are labeled "green" are a mirage, and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in response to the ecological crisis. Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy. But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase. What Goleman calls "radical transparency" will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their businesses, ushering in, he claims, a new age of competitive advantage. 6040033 21 4 2009 Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything total:77|5:13|4:23|3:28|2:10|1:3| 77 264 244 29 5 0 false false Wed Jul 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 04:41:47 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 04:47:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Sep 14 09:52:02 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 10:09:09 -0700 2009 Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence) but this is a very worthwhile read.
