Contract With The Earth (NAPSA)—Americans know that shaping a healthy environment is the one challenge that eclipses all others—and an interesting book, written from a conservative point of view, offers practical ways to meet that challenge. Appealing to America’s core con- servative readership, “A Contract With The Earth” (Plume), written by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and conservationist Terry L. Maple, reminds readers that the values of conservative America are aligned with the principles of conservation and “entreroREwoRD byE.ownson PYeneurial envi- A CONTRACT] ronmentalism.” WITH THE EARTH m While M™|conservative “=| voice in the environmental debate, U CAb EN COMMITMENTS YOUC PROTECT the book is the first aCTs THE ENVIRONra — : er , Newt Gingrich gT1 D TERR RRY L. MAPLE Gin- grich and Maple emphasize that saving the Earth is not—and can- not be—a partisan issue. The authors outline a 10-point Contract with the Earth that pro- motes ingenuity over rhetoric, maintaining that the expansion of “green business,” new technolo- gies and environmental economic incentives will be the defining opportunities for the leaders of the next generation. Green leadership is vital to a robust American economy, say the authors, and the country should serve as an example to the rest of the world. An inspiring call to action, the book offers a vision of the future that is both hopeful and achievable. Available wherever booksare sold.
