"The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to love, mad to talk, mad to be saved; the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." - Jack Kerouac
A few weeks ago, I spent some time with John Shegerian and Mike Brady, hosts of Green is Good. We talked about Care2.com and how its 14 million members are focused on living green and making a difference in the areas of human rights and animal welfare. You can listen to the interview on the Green is Good website.
The second half of the show is a great interview with Shari Arron, co-author of Climb the Green Ladder.
For those that don't know John Shegerian, he is the Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers International. They specialize in the safe and socially responsible dismantling and disposal of electronic items (computers, televisions, monitors, etc.) His work has earned him many awards, including the 2008 Ernst & Young Clean Tech Entrepreneur of the Year, and he also serves on the California Commission for Jobs and Economic Growth along with the California Governor. He's a man who truly believes that Green is Good.
