There is no equivalent of the Wuppertal Institute in the United States, a think tank of activist visionaries pointing out the indicators and goals for regional sustainability. Their region is northern Europe, and Wuppertal has become a kind of shadow government, doing the research and stating the policies that often governments give lip service to (and not much more). In no way naive, Greening the North clearly portrays the global dilemmas; points to where consumption and pollution come from, and directs the North to clean up its act rather than become a role model of hypocrisy for the South. It's the first book of its kind; time to imitate and learn.
