Lawrence Solomon
Lawrence Solomon, Energy Probe's executive director and a founder of Energy Probe Research Foundation in 1979. His book, The Conserver Solution (Doubleday), which popularized the Conserver Society concept in the late 1970s, became the manual for those interested in incorporating environmental factors into economic life. An advisor to President Jimmy Carter's Task Force on the Global Environment (the Global 2000 Report) in the late 1970's, he has since been at the forefront of movements to reform foreign aid, stop nuclear power expansion and promote toll roads. He has been a columnist for The Globe and Mail, a contributor to the Wall Street Journal, the editor and publisher of the award-winning The Next City magazine, and the author or co-author of seven books, most recently Toronto Sprawls (University of Toronto Press, 2007) and The Deniers (Richard Vigilante Books, 2008).
