New interview for Network 355
I am reading the New York Times at this moment and am pausing on the article “Who cooked the Planet” written by the Op-Ed columnist Paul Krugman. Paul is wondering why the climate-change legislation didn’t make it through the Senat. Why didn’t it, in a World where there are more than 250 million of Conscious Consumers ( also known as the Cultural Creatives according to Paul...

They started with an international list of 200 women - ladies who are contributing great things to the environmental space and impacting millions of women across the globe - and narrowed it down to 50.

In this era of transition, where many new green and socially responsible companies develop their enterprises, I am often surprised how people get defensive about synergies and partnerships. One would assume that while we all have the same goal : making our individual lives richer, preserve and restore our biodiversity, discover more efficient technologies, contribute to the elevation of...

I am in San Francisco since a week and I simply love my West coast transition. The people are warm and so “conscious” and … they have time to talk. In New York, there is something called “the elevator pitch” where you only have a minute or four as to present your projects which feels like corporate speed dating. Some people boil this minimalistic communication exchange down to “the New York...

May 2010 be a Sustainable Decade!
I have been told that we can exchange new years greetings until the end of January, which still gives me a couple of days.
To most of my friends and acquaintances, I had sent an email two weeks ago, mentioning that I wished them much love, great success and sparkling health.
