That's the question the folks in the natural products industry and other big brand businesses are exploring in Boulder, Colorado this week! LOHAS is the acronym that translates to Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability. Stay tuned for the latest cutting edge ideas coming from the heart of "Organic Land".
Changing individual human behavior is the key to our future. Improving the quality of life is often the purpose of non-profit organizations. Julia Butterfly Hill ( the courageous activist / protector of Redwood trees) likes to call those entities For Benefit Organizations! That's a really nice way to think about the essence of their work.
In Boulder, the for-profit sector will be exploring how their business practices can affect our society for the better. Anyone interested in the triple bottom line approach to corporate social responsibility will find many members of their tribe at the St. Julien Hotel for the next few days! Astute observers will be watching to see if they can truly green our world, once and for all.
Whole systems, ecological thinking will most definitely be in vogue.
This conference is where connecting the dots between business practices, human behavior, ecological balance and the quality of life on Earth will not be avoided.
Convincing one another that cooperation and collaboration is the key to success is the first order of business. Reinventing business for the 21st century will require a radical transformation of "business as usual". We'll see if this crowd of motivated and energetic entrepreneurs is up to the task.
Reaching out to the main stream is the next challenge! Stay tuned.
