Field Notes from the Green Economy | Alisa Gravitz Bioneers: Green Economy and Business

Industry will dominate society’s values for a socially and environmentally regenerative world. Gravitz, President and CEO of Green America, affirms that companies do listen to customer concerns, and energy and water conservation is a matter of their survival. Thanks to battery storage technology, solar and wind are knocking dirty energy off the grid. CSAs and farmers markets are booming, helping reverse the prevalence of childhood illness. As with biodiversity in nature, respectfully engaging unlikely allies is our best strategy for making meaningful change.
