| Contents Notes |
Gordon Durnil was the U.S. Chairman of the International Joint Commission during the Bush administration. The IJC is a semi-autonomous international organization composed of representatives from the United States and Canada charged with overseeing the quality of the environment in the Great Lakes region. In the course of his service on the Commission, Mr. Durnil became an avid, active environmentalist. For most of the world, the term "conservative environmentalist" is an oxymoron. In this fascinating account of his conversion to environmentalism, Durnil demonstrates how and why the saving of our environment is fundamentally a conservative issue.
