A quick post to two fairly long video clips.
Bill Clinton talks about the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a non-profit designed to establish base-line data on emissions for countries, cities and companies around the world. He has some interesting anticdotes on everything from green roofs in New York to sugar cane ethanol in Ethiopia.
Walmart webcast of their Sustainability Milestone Meeting in July of 2009. Includes a speeches from CEO Mike Duke and other Walmart & Sam’s Club executives.
