Opportunity Green at the Aspen Environment Forum

Posted on 29. Mar, 2008 by opportunity in Events

This week we had the honor of attending the Aspen Institute Environment Forum. The takeaways were eye opening. One in particular, that the North Pole’s ice caps would almost certainly be gone during the summer time, within the next decade, struck me hard.

Essentially, we have an exceedingly short window of opportunity to preserve our ability to inhabit the earth while it is still in a reasonably desirable state, and the people of every country have the future of their businesses, governments and children at stake. Of note was the incredible charisma and leadership that Majora Carter and Van Jones are providing in their Sustainable South Bronx and Green Energy Jobs Bill initiatives.
