Something special is happening in the Hudson River region. Sustainability entrepreneurs of all stripes are infusing this place with a new meaning, in the process resuscitating the landscape and changing the people-place nexus. These are the stories of creative, courageous people and their accomplishments--stories that inform and inspire. Between Manhattan and Mt. Marcy, New York's highest peak, farmers reconnect with the land and their customers in new ways. A town supervisor leads the effort to stave-off rampant development. Community activists in Harlem successfully combat multiple assaults on their neighborhood. A corporation makes compostable packing material out of mushrooms. And environmental advocates preserve scenic treasures. This upbeat view of sustainability from the front lines portrays positive, hard-won social change in one of America's most historic regions.
