What do the horseless carriage, the iPod, and global warming have in
common? Once thought fads or fantasy, it turns out that all three are
here to stay.

It also turns out that each is more connected to the other than is
apparent at first glance, especially when viewed through the lens of
21st century business. In the coming weeks, this blog will take readers
on a journey of connecting the dots, from emerging technologies to
evolving environmental ethics. I’ll share some insights as I travel the
world - - working with inventors, investors, and political visionaries
- - offering provocative and profitable ways to shape the future of our
planet and our economies.

Corporate social responsibility (“CSR”), especially when it comes to
the environment, offers that rare intersection of doing well and doing
good at the same time. But environmental CSR (call it “e-CSR”) will be
defined in new ways, even with a new language. Growing concern (and
regulation) of greenhouse gases, for example, will result in a trillion
dollar carbon market within a decade, creating a new global currency
that anyone can trade for a profit.
