A bold rallying cry for conservative environmental leadership.
Appealing to America's core conservative readership and defying conventional thinking, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and eminent conservationist Terry L. Maple posit that the values of conservative America are aligned with the principles of conservation and "entrepreneurial environmentalism." Saving the earth is not—and cannot be—a partisan issue. The authors outline a ten-point Contract with the Earth that promotes ingenuity over rhetoric, maintaining that the expansion of "green business," new technologies, and environmental economic incentives will be the defining opportunities for the leaders of the next generation.
An inspiring call to action, A Contract with the Earth offers a vision of the future that is both hopeful and achievable.

From AudioFile:
Opening with a quiz to see if the listener is Òa mainstream environmentalist,Ó Newt Gingrich and co-author Terry L. Maple propose a conservation plan--described as a ten-point Contract with the Earth--that emphasizes technological solutions, public-private partnership, and finding common ground. The authors then give examples of successful projects. Callista Gingrich does an acceptable job with her earnest narration but can sound monotonous as she reads the details of a policy or program. The authors hope to organize Ògreen conservatives,Ó but while thereÕs a political call to action here, the main interest could be among like-minded businesspeople and entrepreneurs looking for guidelines.
