Dear Friends, Today is the release day for Hope Beneath Our Feet: Restoring Our Place in the Natural World. Over 200 thoughtful, brilliant, and inspiring people sent in writings for this anthology. There was only room for 53 essays; and what essays they are. This book is for you if you need a clear picture of what is going on environmentally in our world. It's for you if you suffer from a depletion of optimism. It's especially for you if you seek your individual way to somehow make a difference. If you are one of the many who helped support this anthology's creation, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. If you would like to read more about ordering  the book, reading portions of the essays, or seeing what others have to say, please read on.

Here is one by Paul Hawken from the opening essay, Commencement Address: "When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: if you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren't pessimistic, you don't understand the data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you aren't optimistic, you haven't got a pulse. What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world."
