New book to be unveiled by Center

AUG. 16, 2007 -- The Center for a Better South next week will unveil a new book that outlines progressive environmental policy ideas for Southern states and local governments.

The book, Getting Greener: Progressive Environmental Ideas for the American South, offers 15 policy recommendations for state and local leaders and provides a dozen ideas for consumers on how they can be greener in everyday living without government action. The book is written by Arkansas law student L. Edward Moore of Little Rock.

Center President Andy Brack will unveil the book in an 11-city book tour to each Southern state over five days starting August 20. Press events will be held in Chapel Hill, N.C.; Norfolk, Va.; Louisville, Ky.; Nashville, Tenn.; Conway, Ark.; Baton Rouge, La.; Jackson, Miss.; Mobile, Ala.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Savannah, Ga.; and Charleston, S.C.

Stay tuned for more information and a new spiffy Web site devoted to the tenets in the book.
