Richard,
I appreciate the points in your reply, which I note well. I have no doubt but that we will cross paths soon along this road. Good luck with your own plans.

Hi Richard. Travel is a good thing. I for one am locked down right now on a couple of property and model development projects. I can't quite shift gears to full time writing, as consulting and real estate have me as busy as I can stand to be. Having…
Richard, I have been travelling for some weeks and only get an opportunity now to reply.
You are a member of LinkedIn, so why not publish your article for more discussion there, specifically under associated sub-Group: 'Corporate Social Responsibili…
great stuff, Richard. I want to give you the "sustainability trio" of Ecology--Economy--Culture. These three circles, overlap in a triangle, and only when they are in balance is there sustainability. So, yes, corporate America is adapting, and those…
Richard: I thoroughly enjoyed your letter, and appreciate the references you provided on natural capital and sustainability. I have read the Jared Diamond stuff, and McHarg's Design with Nature is, as you said, a classic.
My journey to here and now…
Good day Richard. I am glad you enjoyed the read. Thank you for the encouraging word; it is always good to hear. I hope to expand on the piece more in the future as we see what kind of restructuring proposals take shape. I have further suggestions o…
Richard,
Its been a delight to read such an authoritative and thought-provoking article in addressing what is one of the big issues of our time.

Hi Michael. As I am unfamiliar with the details of your concept, I do know a social networking master when I see one. The concept of social capital needs to be connected here to the restructuring of capital markets, and is best done so via the socia…
At a recent conference someone described Social Capital Value Add as a "corporate hack".
There are good reasons to believe that there is a new economic model emerging.
Hi Brad. Progress and change does take time because the learning curve is skewed toward maintaining the status quo. Getting everyday people to understand the value of sutainablity is one thing, but getting corporations to adopt socially responsible…
It's going to be a long journey but I think the world is making steady progress towards a more sustainable society. It's not only refreshing, but also quite exciting, to see the increased interest in social enterprises, as well as the buzz that sust…
William, as a wildlife ecologist who knows anything about natural capital, I am going to call you Billy if you haven't already been called that by your grandma for years. But what Billy doesn't convey in sophistication, that flyrod and Young Environ…
More and more economists are able to value natural systems. Finally, natural capital has a place in the business model
Nice piece.

I have a marketing mind and am driven by marketing and social research that fuel unique marketing copy. I coined the term Earthlink and used it for my consulting firm in Montana. Other than looking for venture capital for a few specific ideas/ventures, I would like to find a few interested folks to take on and fund an idea/venture that takes ideas from conception to reality. Something like Microfinance by Web 2.0 for Sustainable Resource projects in the U.S. or other industrialized nations. I'm also always looking for writing or consulting projects.

Rethinking Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability as A Basis for Restructuring Capital Markets
In 1984 while I was traversing mountain ranges and climbing wilderness peaks in Montana, I read Building A Sustainable Society by Lester Brown of the Worldwatch Institute. As pivotal a piece as this was at the time, its focus was on macro-level concepts at the societal and global level. The book's conceptual scope was appropriate, not only for the times and the existing level of environmental awareness, but also as a foundation for the expansion of the definition of sustainability for micro-leve… Continue

- Dear Richard, I hope everything is fine for you and your family. It seems that when someone get married, he'll have all kind of problems, anyway, it is a famous say in Ayiti. I've also lost my job, besides my business. People said that if I did not have this economic problems, my couple would have. Is it like this in your country ???
It seems that is the end, because I've found an other job. By the way, I was a sales supevisor in the brewery which has made Prestige, an Ayitian beer, which has won the World Gold Medal for Lager Beer in 2000, they also make on trade Mark, Pepsi, Teem, 7up, etc.
Now, next sunday, I'll start for an other drink maker, which make on trade Mark, Coca Cola, Sprite, some of their own productc.
Then, I really appreciate that you wanted to be kept in touch. Now I just have two taxi-motocycle, it is a new business in Ayiti, and in a few months I'll start with the clairin again, wisely, with your advices.
Take care,
Luciano

- I really thank you Richard. I have ever thought about that and it would has been so easy to manage. Clairin it is a Ayitian beverage made from sugar cane. People use to drink it by adding fruits or without that stuffs. However some people know really well how to mix it and make a delicious drink with it.
I plan to re-open my store in a few months and be sure that I will follow your advices.
Take care,
Luciano
