I am a co-founder and board member of Brighter Planet, a company whose origins date back to a class project in my environmental economics class in the spring of 2005. Thanks to the energy and tenacity of fellow co-founders Andy Rossmeissl and Jake Whitcomb and CEO Patti Prairie, Brighter Planet is a thriving small business (see this news article from December 2011), based in Vermont and San Francisco. You can ‘like’ Brighter Planet here on Facebook.
