As the Cleantech Forum® XXIII, September 8-10 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition event organized by the Cleantech Group (our client) is fast approaching, I often wonder how will the presenting companies and the new emphasis on capital efficiency, and engaging governments help drive the second cleantech investment boom? More importantly, how will they impact us, consumers, and our environment?
It is with these thoughts, that I ran across this great article from Philippe Cousteau, Jr. about 5 green things consumers can do to protect our planet and oceans. After reading this article, it became clear to me that although technology plays a major role in helping us reduce our carbon emissions and protect our planet, educating consumers on smarter ways to conserve and protect energy sources are equally important, if not more important. As Cousteau so eloquently put it, "Consumer issues are one of the most important places we intersect with choices that make a difference—not just for the environment, but for our health, for our kids, and for our families." With that thought I leave you to reflect on: What 5 things are you going to do personally to protect mother earth?
