Earth Day 2009 seems an appropriate time to be reminded about Eco Barons: The Dreamers, Schemers, and Millionaires Who Are Saving Our Planet by Edward Humes. It's a compelling story about a diverse group of men and women taking on the challenge to protect the planet; they've been dubbed "a band of idealistic environmentalists" by Publishers Weekly, "embattled visionaries" by Booklist and "would-be planet savers" by the New York Times.

No matter what you choose to call them, as a group, and individually, these Eco Barons have had a tremendous, positive impact on the planet. And the eco-missions they're on make for an interesting story.

Edward Humes is a Pulitzer Prize winner for specialized reporting and critically acclaimed author.

He says, "When I was six I decided I wanted to be a writer, and I’ve been at it ever since." Read the rest of the story up to now …
