After attending a fabulous Future of Green event organised through Insider Worldwide, I wanted to take the time to highlight key points from each of the presenter’s speed presentations. It was a fast, furious, and fun night with no presentation lasting more that 10 minutes and truly kept my attention span sparked after a long day of the daily grind:
Snippets from the eve…
- Forum for the Future, a non-profit helping businesses and communities create sustainable and socially just futures- Make sustainable development so desireable it’s normal.
- Futerra, sustainability communications – “We are in denial! We are doing too much with too little.” People’s willingness to act is inversely proportional to their impacts.
- Sublime, the first international sustainable lifestyle magazine- “The new currency is not money and status, its meaning”
- Terra Plana, the award-winning ethical shoe company- “Be as barefoot as possible.”
- Project Dirt, the online social network for people making change in their communities – Join up all of the green guerilla activity. Don’t ask for permission, just do it.
- Green Tomato Cars, the taxi service for London and Sydney that uses Toyota Prius hybrid cars- You can’t avoid change.
- The Hub, an innovative workspace concept spreading rapidly across the globe, connecting and supporting social entrepreneurs- There are 55,000 social entrepreneurs in the UK and GROWING
- Germination, a live events company that uses cutting-edge technology to further social progress- Confession: “I am not a true Green Being.” How do you do it anyway?
- Erica Grigg, leading sustainability social media consultant and Advocate of the British Council Low Carbon Futures- TckTckTck 350 Campaign Hopenhagen.
So it’s really self-explanatory; Right?…just change your behaviour and start sharing the currency of meaning and living within your means. Stay tuned..
