There are so many books about increasing sustainable practices that it is hard to know where to start. As a complete novice, I often felt overwhelmed by the amount of text dedicated to this topic. At last, Giselle Weybrecht has compiled a simple and easy-to-read guide to green management. Her tips and tools should appeal to both the uninitiated and the well-informed in sustainable practices. What's more, her tone is sympatheic and enthusiastic - she does not repremand or cast aspersions. I also appreciate the practicality of her book; she presents a solid business case for her suggestions and demonstrates that sustainability can be profitable. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has even a passing interest in sustainability.

What a great book - it's so easy to overcomplicate the sustainability debate, in particular when it comes to what we can do as individuals. "The Sustainable MBA" gives a fresh look at the way sustainability issues affect the various departments within a company, and also is full of tips and tools on how sustainability can be incorporated into any job, in a way that anyone can understand (from the CEO to the new recruit).

I just finished the Sustainable MBA and found it extremely helpful in trying to understand how I can make a difference at my (or another) company. As a Management Consultant focusing in Change Management - Sustainability and 'what can I do today' discussions come up all the time. This book provided down-to-earth ideas and resources to continue my research.
I highly recommend it as a general overview and text for understanding how we all can make a difference.
