A WorldChanging Idea: Greening Your Business

Alex Steffen shows businesses how to embrace sustainability as a path to profits

"Taken together, the solutions [offered by WorldChanging] present a picture of a future that is not dark or catastrophic, but one that is full of hope and within our grasp." - Al Gore

Business doesn't have to be destructive, says Alex Steffen, founder of WorldChanging, the planet’s most influential Web site on sustainability. In fact, saving the planet and making money are often interconnected goals. In his presentations, Steffen shows us how to build thriving businesses that embrace sustainability, openness, and fairness not as a sideline ethical consideration, but as the path to profits. Drawing on examples of successful companies and industries that have already "gone green," he gives us a glimpse into a bright green economic future that, in many ways, is already here.

NOW Filming: A Show About Thinking Big and Ditching Excuses

In his new CBC show, Bruce Kirkby helps Canadians achieve their lifelong dreams -- in only 72 hours

Currently on the road filming NOW (No Opportunity Wasted), Bruce Kirkby is helping average Canadians do the one thing they've always dreamed of, but never thought possible. The Amazing Race’s Phil Keoghan, who is also NOW’s producer, chose Kirkby as host because, " He’s convinced those around him to ditch the excuses and do the things they've been putting off for years. " Because none of the contestants knows beforehand whether Kirkby will choose them (he just shows up with a camera crew), the show has a great spontaneity and excitement that is making it one of this fall's most anticipated shows.

She is also a brilliant speaker. With grace, humour and sophistication, she highlights some of the great things Canadians are doing, both at home and abroad, and examines what we, as a nation, are saying -- and what we aspire to be.
