The Breakthrough Challenge & The Zeronauts Make Top Books List

John Elkington · 27 January 2015 · 1 Comment

Great to see both The Zeronauts and The Breakthrough Challenge making the Sustainable Brands top books listing, alongside some other wonderful titles. Various people are dubbing 2015 the ‘Year of Sustainable Development’ – I wonder if it will make much difference in terms of the audience for these books? Can only hope so!

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
