InnovatingSMART

THE INNOVATION:

Increasingly, the gap between consumers and their ability to impact the products they buy is narrowing.   From the supermarket to the local farming community, new tools are empowering consumers to live the sustainable life they seek, while helping conscious businesses to thrive.  Meanwhile, big brands are collaborating to positively effect consumer behavior. Check out these innovation stories from the 2013 GreenBiz Forum in San Francisco.
