Green. It's on the cover of Fortune, Time, Newsweek, and many others this, along with being one of the hottest topics of 2007. The once called green movement has shed it’s “tree hugging” past and found center stage in both mainstream and corporate America as the climate crisis. With gas prices nearing $4/gal this summer and a predicted hurricane season like 2005, at the forefront of the American consciousness are real solutions to effect positive change for every business and individual.
ExecutiveBiz presents an expert panel discussion featuring Jonathan Lash, President of WRI, Jay Benforado, Director of the National Center for Environmental Innovation, and Philippe Cousteau, President & CEO of EarthEcho International. The discussion will explore the environmental movement from a business perspective. They will discuss changes in national and corporate environmental and energy policy, improving your employee retention/acquisition, ways to dramatically lower energy costs, and much more.
