Matt Petersen presents at Bioneers
Global Green President Matt Petersen is participating in this years Bioneers Conference. Founded in 1990, Bioneers promotes practical environmental solutions and innovative social strategies for restoring Earth’s imperiled ecosystems and healing our human communities.
Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature's principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society
On Friday afternoon, Matt Petersen will be moderating a panel: Leveraging Business Innovations for Environmental Breakthroughs. The panel includes Ray Anderson; Erin Meezan, Interface’s director of sustainable development; and Jack Hidary, brilliant entrepreneur and innovation maven, first funder of the Automotive XPrize, and founder and chairman of the Freedom Prizes.
