English Summary/英文概要： How our well-intentioned efforts and dollars are going sown the drain

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.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 環保議題提倡至今，已成為主流，環保組織越來越大，當環保組織如同大型企業般，不免產生許多有違初衷的負面效應。最新一集的OO7量子危機中，探討以環保為名的組織，利用人們的善意，其實背後牽涉龐大利益，且常是以人民生活作為交換。檢視這些擁有許多資源的環保組織與人士已成為必要。

全球環保組織在超過100個國家運作，且已有1500萬會員。這些環保組織包括Conservation International(簡稱CI，非營利組織，致力保護生物資源豐富的地方及幫助當地居民改善生活，以減少他們對自然生態環境的開發) 、世界野生動物保育協會等等。環保組織的建立初衷應是為了集合眾人的好意與力量，使之能發揮更大的效益。

但今日這些環保組織中的”高層”，意味著6位數字的高薪，和搖滾歌手一起搭私人噴射客機、遊艇或Land Rover(常常在電影中看到環保人士都開著高價位的Land Rover)。部份環保人士竟在大肆抨擊企業後，又至該企業任職，如Wal-Mart顧問Adam Werbach。包括Nissan、GE奇異公司等企業都大額捐款給主要環保團體，來交換不登上美國污染企業排行榜上的前十名。

Christine MacDonald2006年為了夢想中的工作離開新聞業，到全世界最大的環保組織之ㄧ的Conservation International工作。然而不久後她便被今日這些保護主義者的腐敗所震撼。本書將揭露這些非營利的環保組織與知名企業環保政策的真實面，為何原先善意的出發點會變造成壞結果。期待在環境日益惡化下，更多人能了解真相及其後果的嚴重性。(VC)

Awards/获奖情况：“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony… climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”---Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment

"[A] scathing indictment of the surprising profligacy and complacency of some of the world’s top environmental organizations...impossible to ignore."---Publishers Weekly

“Readers who take for granted that environmental organizations are made up of long-haired tree huggers and wilderness buffs will receive a jolt to learn how Green Inc.’s newfound prosperity has led it astray.---Kirkus Review

“Green Inc. is a must read. Christine McDonald reveals the seedy underbelly of the greenwashing movement where brand-name environmental groups provide a PR bonanza for some of the worst polluters in corporate America, and get paid to do it. Americans will never look at many environmental groups the same way after reading Green Inc. Green Inc. should stir a revolt among the dues-paying membership of the environmental movement against those who believe working with oil companies to improve their image is the way to save the earth.---Jamie Court, President, Consumer Watchdog, and author of Corporateering: How Corporate Power Steals Your Personal Freedom and What You Can Do About It
