Of course, the recession has restrained sustainability practices and as Makower writes in his just released State of Green Business report, whatever progress is currently being made may not be "addressing planetary problems at sufficient scale and speed." Regardless, he says, the green momentum is still growing, not so much because businesses such as solar power or recycling have become financial titans (they haven't), but because green values - efficiency, reducing waste, managing carbon - have increasingly become standard practice for any smart business.

...Michelle Obama never thought so. The passion she has always exhibited for her work, regardless of the recognition it promises, is one that few politicians can match. For that reason, Michelle is more important than her quick-witted quips and J. Crew-clad deportment might suggest. She’s walking proof that our most important heroes often shun both the podium and the history books, working one day and one cause at a time...
