Color the Green Movement Blue

"...Mauro makes a powerful case for conservation-one that bridges the ideals of environmental stewardship with the realities of practical wildlife management. It's essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of our natural resources." - Dr. Leonard Wolgast, Professor Emeritus, Wildlife Ecology and Management, Department of Natural Resources, Rutgers University

What if the path to a healthier environment didn't start with carbon credits and green slogans-but with muddy boots, wild rivers, and a deep respect for nature's design?

In Color the Green Movement Blue, Anthony P. Mauro, Sr. delivers a compelling call to action for rethinking environmentalism from the ground up. Through a mix of philosophy, personal stories, and political insight, Mauro introduces the concept of blue-collar conservation-a hands-on, values-driven approach to ecological stewardship rooted in outdoor traditions like hunting and fishing.

Drawing on his experience as cofounder of the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance, Mauro critiques the commercialization of the green movement and offers a powerful alternative: reconnecting with the land, respecting the wisdom of nature, and forming grassroots alliances to influence public policy.

This book is part memoir, part environmental treatise, and part political manifesto-a timely read for conservationists, outdoorsmen and women, policymakers, and anyone who believes that healing the planet starts with understanding our place in it.

Bold, insightful, and unapologetically authentic, this is a new voice in environmental thought-and one that demands to be heard.
