Media personality, author and self-described Lazy Environmentalist Josh Dorfman led the audience on an investigation of the ever-growing spectrum of choices presented by the marketplace for the would-be green consumer. Using the premise that reducing one’s carbon footprint need not be painful and might even be stylish and yield benefits to health and well-being, this program was a must for any savvy shopper wishing to make choices, beyond changing lightbulbs, that will help preserve the environment.
Joining Dorfman was green-goods pioneers Mary-Lou Jepsen, inventor of “One Laptop per Child’s” ultra low-power, low-cost computer, and Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre, the entrepreneurs who turned a college dorm-room experiment using mushrooms into a product line of viable and infinitely recyclable packaging and home insulation materials.
