I could not agree more that we need to get beyond just doing things the same way we always have, except now in a slightly better for the environment way. I know that in that reinvention of the way things get done there will be significant business opportunity to provide solutions for businesses and consumers. My goal this year is to begin to identify those opportunities. Dan thanks for the reco, Cradle to Cradle is one of my favorite books on sustainability.

If you aren't familiar with B Corp (listed on the above Fast Company list) I'd definitely suggest checking them out; especially since they're based near Philly. Just got this list:
