Format:Hardcover
This is a book EVERYONE should read. Although aimed at people in the workplace it's full of inspiration for anyone who wants to be inspired to make small green changes and clever innovations. It's a classic 'dip' so great for people who say they are too busy to read a whole book! I've ordered 10 copies for clients who I know are teetering on the edge of green!

Amy and Shari have done a phenomenal job of writing a very practical, and powerful guide to navigating the tough challenge of ensuring your company, and your career, are in line with the latest sustainable thinking. Plenty of useful tools and a great sense of support throughout - you need this on the bookshelf if you're going to be part of the new green economy!

Format:Hardcover
This is a fantastic work: Fetzer and Aaron write in a fluid, engaging way and their text is peppered with concrete examples. They are energetic and optimistic about a subject that can often seem depressing or sound preachy. "Climb the Green Ladder" was clearly well researched among people with successful practical experience of business change for sustainability; a great read!
