In recent decades, a strong tie between social and environmental issues has been identified, and a movement for “people and planet” including the concept of “green careers” has been advanced to “connect the dots” between jobs and environmental challenges. This presentation by Martin Ogle, Founder, Entrepreneurial Earth, LLC, brings new energy, conceptual underpinnings and urgency to the task of envisioning and creating an economy characterized by work and livelihoods that nourish human beings and the living systems upon which we depend.  We will explore how a new view of entrepreneurship can empower young people with tools and inspiration to create meaningful work that addresses social, environmental and deep human needs.  A panel /audience discussion will help us envision new possibilities.
