“The metamorphosis is now.” That’s what Lisa Ann Pinkerton, founder of Women in Cleantech and Sustainability, affirmed to a packed room at the first annual WCS Talks. What did she mean by this? We’re facing a change to business as usual, Lisa Ann believes, one that will take us from a top-down way of operating to a new way that can help us save our planet. She challenged us to ask, “What am I doing to help?”
2nd speaker: Lindsay Wood, self-described “The LED Lady.” One of the first green MBAs, she told us how her search for a new career led her to LED lighting, something she didn’t know anything about. But no one was claiming the space, so she did — in a fine example of how far we can go when we’re bold and pursue a clear vision. She became an LED evangelist — and she had me converted with her reminder that every time we turn on the lights, we’re supporting fracking.
