Not for the Meek
One of most critical statements made by a presenter at Fortune’s Brainstorm Green was very simple and obvious: The environment has moved to the top of the agenda for CEOs and CIOs. One of the running themes of the event was the need – make that necessity – for NGOs, corporate America and politicians to work together on solutions before our time runs out. The urgency of these discussions and the need for decisions were brought home by 16-year-old Avery Hairston, founder of RelightNY, who wryly concluded, “It’s great to see so many of you out there and caring for the environment even though you’re not necessarily going to inherit it.”
