ChicoBag founder Andy Keller on landfills, Bikram Yoga and his beef with plastic

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:32:45 -0400

There is no shortage of entrepreneurs inspired by the movie Wall Street or the stories of Sam Walton or Steve Jobs. I recently had the opportunity to interview Andy Keller, whose inspiration is a little more, shall we say, down to Earth.

CA -- Tell us about the origins of ChicoBag.

AK -- I used to sell software for an enterprise software company down in the Bay Area. I ended up getting laid off when the company was bought out by a company in the UK. The community and lifestyle in Chico (California) really appealed to me, so it was important...

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:43:44 -0400

Quebec and Ontario showing leadership with cap-and-trade program

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:47:50 -0400

The provinces of Quebec and Ontario have shown great leadership by working together to institute a bilateral "cap-and-trade" system in an attempt to curb green house gas emissions. When the Canadian federal government is dragging its heels on what most consider the most important issue curretnly facing humanity, bilateral initiatives between provinces or municipalities makes a good deal of sense.

This kind of autonomy and leadership at the provincial level is refreshing. A similar dynamic has existed for many years in the U.S., where despite an administration nearl...

Going Green At The Banyan Resort

Mon, 12 May 2008 10:58:17 -0400

Eco tourism is increasingly gaining buzz as one of the hottest parts of ‘green-living.’ It sounds great - enjoy the benefits of a vacation away from the busy working life, and do it in a way that respects the environment during your escape! While the word ‘eco-tourism’ might make you think of roughing it in the great outdoors, thanks to some innovative social entrepreneurs, it is now possible to enjoy palm trees, exotic surroundings, and room service without doing what most of us do on vacation: take a break from the real world, and the stress we might feel ...

‘We are going to be in the (electricity) business in a very big way’

SAN FRANCISCO – Google Inc. is expanding into alternative energy in its most ambitious effort yet to ease the environmental strain caused by the company’s voracious appetite for power to run its massive computing centers.

As part of a project announced Tuesday, the Internet search leader and its philanthropic arm will pour hundreds of millions of dollars into a quest to lower the cost of producing electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind...

McDonald's - open for discussion

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:48:13 -0500

At the end of a video posted on rethos.com on McDonald’s CSR there is a URL that flashes on the screen directing viewers to McDonald’s CSR blog

Here it is: http://csr.blogs.mcdonalds.com/default.asp

It is amazing that of the billions served by Micky D’s – including myself a couple of times a month – there are so few people engaging in the discussion on how McDonald’s can be a vehicle to feed billions in the best way possible for the planet and all species ...
