Designing the Future – Real Solutions In a Resource Constrained World
Matt Atwood, Peter Eisenberger / Panel: Ben Bronfman, Lopa Brunjes, John Perry Barlow
The future we want demands a whole new kind of energy. By 2050, we will need to double global fuel and power supplies while diminishing greenhouse gases by 90%. An honest conversation is required to address the dangers of where we’re at, the reality of where we need to be, and how we can realistically get there from here. Matt Atwood, President of Algae Systems and Peter Eisenberger, founder of Global Thermostat and the Colombia University Earth Institute will discuss technologies that can get us there, and moderate a panel discussion with business and thought leaders that are developing exciting next-generation systems and policies that can bring a sustainable future within our reach.

Big Heartedness in Big Business
Peter Eisenberger, Lopa Brunjes, John Perry Barlow
Big business is often seen as an obstacle to positive change rather than an opportunity. Consider the current environmental disaster in the gulf – never before has corporate responsibility and the importance of working within to change big business been so painfully visible. Peter Eisenberger, Chief Scientist for Exxon Corporation, Lopa Brunjes and John Perry Barlow will talk about the importance of working with big business while preserving the vision for change, and will discuss some of the nuances, challenges, & opportunities inherent in dealing with large corporations while maintaining a commitment to integrity. Following will be a Q&A session with various business leaders in our community discussing real-world examples of how they work to empower others or change their industry.

Q&A: Examples of Ethical Businesses in Our Community – A Panel Discussion
Warrior Within, Dr. Bronner’s, Essential Living Foods
Following the panel discussion on the responsibilities of big business, a panel Q&A discussion with leaders of businesses from our community will discuss their experiences, and answer questions from the previous panel and the audience.
