"Saving the World Without Hippies"
Here's an excerpt:
A successor to the Whole Earth Catalog, this hefty guide is organized around the same categories as the blog -- Stuff, Shelter, Cities, Community, Business, Politics, Planet -- with an introduction by Al Gore and contributions from Cory Doctorow, Kevin Kelly, Bruce Sterling and many other experts. Each section contains an abundance of ideas and solutions aimed at helping us mere mortals make more sustainable choices ...
What emerges is a comprehensive, cohesive vision for sustainability that feels perfectly in sync with the times. Out with the muumuus, Bucky domes and brown rice; in with the Hug Shirt, renovated factory lofts and New Rice for Africa. If Worldchanging is any indicator, the new green movement is globally aware, technically savvy, design conscious and, above all, optimistic. Or as Newsweek put it earlier this year: "Environmentalism is hot."
In other words, I highly recommend this book!

what is a "hippe"?
I believe it's called a typo. Fixed. Thanks.
you should also fix the url - i came to it from the "whooping it up" page, and the link read "hippes" so i got a 404 error notice.
