In spring 2006, Christine MacDonald left journalism for a dream job at Conservation International, one of the world's largest environmental organizations. Soon after reporting to the group's Washington offices, however, she realized that something is rotten in today's clubby world of conservationists. "Green, Inc." is a riveting account of an eco-warrior's travails at the crossroads of the nonprofit and corporate worlds. Environmental NGOs that once dedicated themselves solely to saving pandas and parklands today vie for the favors of mining operations, logging companies, and energy conglomerates. Being a top conservationist today means partying with corporate execs aboard private jets, yachts, and Land Rovers. A scandalous snapshot from inside a good cause gone bad, "Green, Inc." unfolds at a time when global warming nears the point of no return and more people than ever are awakening to the consequences.
