Getting to Green, Saving Nature: A Bipartisan Solution

Fredric Rich ’77 argues that the green movement in American has stalled and that meaningful progress on environmental issues can only be made on a bipartisan basis. His book, Getting to Green (W.W. Norton & Co.), argues that faithfulness to conservative principles requires the GOP to support environmental protection while criticizing the green movement for drifting too far left and appearing hostile to business and economic growth. Rich argues that Greens and conservatives need to work together where their values overlap, what he calls “Center Green.”
