This concerns Andrew Kirks history Counterculture Green of the Whole Earth Catalog and the growth of modern environmentalism.
The second part of the movement that Kirk isn't able to cover is my creation of the Briarpatch Network.
The Briarpatch was founded in May of 1974, when I was still a president of Point Foundation. Briarpatch was the mother organization of hippie businesses and the entire entrepreneurial movement that grew out of the hippie world (and was spread to Sweden and Europe later). The Briarpatch had over 1,000 members over a decade; it required that all businesses that joined have an environmental purpose, love their business and have open books.
Nearly
every environmental project in the S.F. Bay Area, we are talking many
hundreds of businesses, was a member of the Briarpatch and enjoyed the
benefits of sharing resources with others and getting superb business
advice, help and support. 
While fifty or
more of these businesses became influential in the environmental
movement and fifty more in other movements, one in particular had a
significant and lasting urban environmental impact. It was Fort Mason,
a Briarpatch business under the leadership of Ann Howell who took over
the deserted Army base in San Francisco and turned it into a thriving
congery of more than 120 non-profit business (many were also part of
the Briarpatch). The Fort Mason model became the exemplar for nearly
all the urban Army bases that were abandoned by the Army in the 1990s
at the end of the Cold War. All were shaped by environmental visions
based on Ft. Mason.
