John Kerry has been a leader in the environmental movement throughout his public life, beginning with his involvement in the first Earth Day celebration in Massachusetts in 1970. Teresa Heinz Kerry, a pioneer in venture philanthropy, is one of the nation's leading environmental advocates, serving as chairman of the Heinz Endowments and the Heinz Family Philanthropies. After having lost the 2004 Presidential election, John Kerry, during the political sabbatical he wrote this book with his wife, Teresa. She had always championed environmental causes as the chairman of the Heinz Endowments and used this platform to espouse those principles. "On the national level, climate change, security, and economic factors are merging into a new domestic and international political reality. Political consensus is growing. Business engagement is getting stronger all the time. But we have big hurdles to overcome - and a whole host of elected officials in Washington who refuse to step over them, along with a whole cast of political consultants who will counsel their candidates not to even try." (p 195) An inspiring celebration of courageous American innovators who are transforming the way we protect and care for the world we live in. The environment, and the movement that grew up to protect it, is under attack--concerted and purposeful. Yet the need for solutions to pressing environmental problems grows more urgent each day. Teresa Heinz Kerry and Senator John Kerry traveled across the country in a national campaign to see at first hand how these issues unite people across party and ideological lines. From the San Juan Basin to the Gulf of Mexico to the South Bronx, from mothers on Cape Cod to Colorado ranchers, they found a vibrant coalition of people and communities deploying ingenuity, technology, and sheer will power to save the world they know and love. Now, in this passionate and personal book, Senator John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry shine the spotlight on an inspiring cross-section of these new environmental pioneers. The book combines intensive research with keenly observed personal experiences to present a portrait of Americans devoted to the natural diversity and spectacular uniqueness of our country. It also includes an extensive guide on where and how readers can get involved.
