[Video] Elkington brings on Blood and Gore

Incase you didn't attend the Skoll World Forum, we thought you might find this video of a presentation by Al Gore and David Blood, Generation Investment Management, of interest.

All the more so, if you're a social entrepreneur wondering about the Byzantine world of capital.

John Elkington, SustainAbility, moderates.



Here are more videos from SWF.

30 Days of Sustainability

Vancouverites are set to begin 30 Days of Sustainability, which "aims to educate and integrate sustainability into the values of everyday citizens, corporations, NGOs, government and society".

Did you hear about the campaign?

The 30-DoS crew have done a great job of spreading the word within 200m of SFU.

The Flickr portion of the campaign will be fun to follow.

Another part of the campaign will capitalize on the energy of the Philosophers' Cafe series. But if you can't attend one of those sessions ... well there's always the chance to riff on-line and participate in 30 questions.
