I'd like to introduce those of you who are not familiar with "The Business Case for Sustainability" to its author, Bob Willard. Bob's take on sustainable business practices is extremely refreshing. Not speaking for Bob but from my perspective I summarize his presentation as one showing the upside of the economics for running your company in a sustainable manner. Bob addresses Wall Streets take on green companies.

What's great about this approach is that it gets two divergent camps of people working together towards the goal of cleaner and greener business practices.
