Authentic Excerpt #1

“Years ago, biologist Bill McLarney was inventing some advanced aquaculture at the New Alchemy Institute in Costa Rica. He was stirring a tank of algae one day when a brassy lady from North America strode in and demanded, ‘Why are you standing there stirring that green goop, when what really matters in the world is love?’

Bill thought for a minute and replied, ‘Well, there’s theoretical love; and then there’s applied love’-- and kept on stirring.”
--Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins, L. Hunter Lovins; Natural Capitalism
