Green products are today sweeping the planet. The organic food business is growing at twenty per cent per year, and green building supplies are buoyant even as the housing market slumps.

Making an investigative journey that includes organic export farms in Paraguay and biodiesel plantations in Indonesia, Heather Rogers brings a much-needed critical perspective to this topic.
