The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.
To talk of the importance of using more ecologically responsible products is easy; to implement their use in our institutions is a different journey. As purchasing agent for Rutgers University, one of the largest state educational institutions, Kevin Lyons had the opportunity to put theory into practice. His story reveals his dogged determination, attention to small details, consensus-building with stakeholders, frustrations, humble courageousness, and willingness to be marginalized—all necessary to effect change. It is the story of an unsung hero of our times.
