FOREST INK

If you want to start the new year on an optimistic note, I suggest the Healing Earth by John Todd, about an ecologist’s journey of innovation and environmental stewardship.

The author has been featured in the Genius issue of Esquire magazine and also as one of twentieth century’s top thirty-five inventors listed in the Lemelson-MIT program.

I was hooked after reading one of his first projects where he cleaned up a toxic lagoon that was polluting the water supplying the small town of Harwich on Cape Cod Massachusetts.
