Recent headlines involving the Center's new book

Media coverage continues to highlight the Center for a Better South's new book of environmental ideas:

8/31: Can S.C. revolutionize its energy policy? by Mike Fitts, The (Columbia, S.C.) State:
"The book points out that electricity in the South generally is cheaper than it is nationally, but we still spend more on power — because we use, and waste, so much. Many of the book’s recommendations aren’t really radical: It envisions governments building more efficiently, and private business being encouraged to follow suit with incentives. "

8/29: Taking a religious look at the environment, by David Prather, Huntsville (Ala.) Times:
The book-support tour was organized by a group called the Center for a Better South. It's a nonpartisan think tank out of Charleston, S.C. The environment is its big issue this year. Last year, it was (gasp!) taxes. I went to its Web site - www.bettersouth.org - and read its executive summary of its proposal to reform taxes in Southern states. ... Surely, though, there's nothing wrong with religious groups wanting to do what they can to protect Alabama's environment and to use energy wisely.

8/27: New book outlines green opportunities in South, Pageland (S.C.) Progressive Journal:
"'The purpose of this book is to take ideas that have worked or are working in other areas of the country and help Southern leaders better understand how they can work in our region,' said Better South President Andy Brack."

8/21: New book offers ways to be greener, WSMV TV, Nashville, Tenn.:
