The inventor of triple bottom line and Cannibals with forks has surpassed himself with The Zeronauts!' - David Grayson, Chair and Director of the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility, Cranfield University, UK

In his judicious and respectful writings, he uncovers vistas of opportunity for start-ups, corporations and governments, panoramas of brilliant ideas that will transform our lives'. Paul Hawken, author of The Ecology of Commerce, Natural Capitalism and Blessed Unrest, and the visionary entrepreneur who ignited Interface founder Ray Anderson's interest in zero.
