Arguing that Americans should turn to private entrepreneurs rather than the federal government to guarantee the protection and improvement of environmental quality, the authors document numerous examples of how entrepreneurs have satisfied the growing demand for environmental quality. Beginning with historical cases from the turn of the century, they illuminate the benefits of entrepreneurial participation in wildlife preservation, aquatic habitat production, and environmentally friendly housing development. As government budgets shrink and more people question the efficacy of government regulations, Enviro-Capitalists offers alternatives to traditional thinking about the environment. While the book does not claim that the private sector can provide solutions to all environmental problems, it offers innovative ideas that will cultivate and encourage environmental entrepreneurship.

Acknowledgments
In 1991 we published Free Market Environmentalism, which laid out the theory for market solutions to environmental problems. Since then, we discovered that this theory is brought to life by hundreds of environmental entrepreneurs who have made free market environmentalism a reality. We thank all of those featured in this book, especially Tom Bourland and Brent Haglund, for stimulating our thinking on this subject. To those whose stories remain untold because of our ignorance, we beg your indulgence. Hopefully this book will help us discover and appreciate your contributions to improving our environment. We thank John Baden who made us aware of the adjective-adverb combination in the subtitle.
