Maple present A Contract with the Earth. They declare a need for bipartisan environmentalism -- a new era of environmental stewardship with principles that they believe most Americans will share. </P><P>While acknowledging that liberals and conservatives do not see eye to eye on many issues, Gingrich and Maple argue successfully that environmental stewardship is a mainstream value that transcends partisan politics. Their thoughtful approaches to our environmental challenges are based on three main premises: environmental leadership is integral to America's role in the world, technologically savvy environmental entrepreneurs can and should be the cornerstone of environmental solutions, and cooperation and incentives must be dramatically increased to achieve workable and broadly supported environmental solutions.</P><P>Gingrich and Maple believe that most people -- regardless of how they categorize themselves politically -- are weary of the legal and political conflicts that prevent individuals and communities from realizing the benefits of environmental conservation. The foundation of the book -- a ten-point Contract with the Earth -- promotes ingenuity over rhetoric as the way forward.</P> 711944 1 10 2007 A Contract with the Earth total:19|5:3|4:2|3:3|2:5|1:6| 19 48 50 3 5 0 false false Thu Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 13:21:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 18:40:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Wed Dec 26 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Oct 01 12:20:58 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 11:13:26 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Jan 13 13:43:31 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 13:46:40 -0800 2008
