Ecopreneurist : Data Can Make Us Greener

I like that the CTO discussions were focused a good deal on light-tech solutions. The great thing about the focus on sustainability, recycling and efficiency is that it's now cool to be what used to be considered cheap and definitely un-cool. Who knew that we'd ever be able to share rides, optimize our bus-line-timing, etc. and not look impossibly nerdy?

I want to cheer New Resources Bank on as well. They certainly launched in about the worst possible time for a bank. Let's hope that they, and all lenders to socially responsible businesses, do well going forward. Readers, if you want to give a shout out to other banks, whether B Corporations or not, who are supporting social entrepreneurs, we'd love to hear from you.

Ecopreneurist : Q&A: Andrea Fabbri, COO of EcoAlign, Focuses on Smart Grid

Thanks Jennifer. This report is another reminder that we need a focused renewable-energy & energy-efficiency policy to convince the population to make significant changes in the way we consume energy. Most products aren't profitable until they hit scale, so forcing private companies to change public energy-consumption patterns one customer at a time, based on immediate cost savings, is highly unrealistic. But I applaud those entrepreneurs who are trying!
