A Common-Sense Guide to Environmentalism
By Joseph L. Bast, Peter J. Hill and Richard C. Rue
This book cuts through rhetoric, false alarms and media hype to deliver concise and authoritative
summaries of what we know about the most important environmental issues of our times. It describes the
considerable progress made since 1960 in cleaning and protecting the environment, challenges the
environmental movement to adopt new tactics to ensure that the progress continues, and provides the tools
needed to make this change.
Joseph L. Bast is the president of The Heartland Institute in Chicago, IL. Peter J. Hill is a PERC senior associate and a professor of economics at Wheaton College. Richard C. Rue is a senior policy analyst and vice president of The Heartland Institute.

Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
