From Green to Mean

In his fifth book, the nation's longest running national environmental columnist and Washingtonian Award recipient, Edward Flattau, shines the spotlight on the GOP's desertion from its environmental origins. This polemic and scathing editorial unmasks a decades-long regression away from sensible conservative environmentalism to a new platform of vilifications, mistruths and corporate greed that currently pervades the party. Flattau unveils the party's idealogical paradoxes and the path that led to the current state of obstructionism and smear jobs. While relentless in his critical exploration of the GOP's journey to environmental failure, Flattau presents solutions that can turn the party around and produce a new culture of cooperation that need not betray conservative ideals.
