Going Green with the Pulpwood Queens
I
‘m here in Jefferson, Texas, at the world headquarters of the Pulpwood Queens, America’s biggest book club, talking about Eco Barons. Last night brought dinner and a lecture at Soul Surroundings in downtown Jefferson, where the lively discussion ranged from Doug Tompkins‘ efforts to preserve the rain forests of Patagonia, to the history and controversies of the Endangered Species Act, to the good news about Nissan’s breakthrough Leaf electric car, to the bad news about Chevy’s planned hybrid, the Volt, which may be late to market and a money loser for struggling General Motors.
The discussion continues tonight at 7 when I’ll be meeting with the Pulpwood Queens book club itself, at the one-of-a-kind Beauty and the Book hair salon and book store in Jefferson. And in case you didn’t know, the Pulpwood Queens are into tiaras and leopard — as you can see in the podium in the picture snapped at Soul Surroundings. Update to come.
