Inhaltsangabe

"[Durnil’s attack on chlorine is] one of the single boldest environmental policy ideas of the 1990’s.... The message is that if someone as conventional and as conservative as Mr. Durnil can latch on to one of the great social transformations of the American century, then so can every other Republican in the country." —New York Times Book Review

"This is a serious, thoughtful book. If they would read it, the phoney ‘conservatives’ now performing in the center ring in Congress might be shamed into mending their ways. —Village Voice Literary Supplement

"Here comes a thoughtful, experienced conservative with impeccable Republican credentials a dedicated environmentalist with a different point of view. A thoughtful, readable mandate."—Ken Bode, Moderator, Washington Week in Review

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Gordon Durnil was the U.S. Chairman of the International Joint Commission during the Bush administration. The IJC is a semi-autonomous international organization composed of representatives from the United States and Canada charged with overseeing the quality of the environment in the Great Lakes region. In the course of his service on the Commission, Mr. Durnil became an avid, active environmentalist. For most of the world, the term ""conservative environmentalist"" is an oxymoron. In this fascinating account of his conversion to environmentalism, Durnil demonstrates how and why the saving of our environment is fundamentally a conservative issue.
