Imagine a global in which the excess energy in one business would be used to heat another. Where buildings need less and less energy about the world, and where “regenerative” commercial buildings – ones that create more energy than they use – are being designed. A global where environmentally sound products and techniques would be more cost-effective than wasteful ones. A global in which corporations such as Costco, Nike, BP, and countless others are building partnerships with environmental and social justice organizations to ensure better stewardship of the planet earth and better livelihoods in the growing world. Now, stop imagining – that world has already been emerging.
