I have 25 years as a management consultant to small businesses and 10 years of studying climate change and working with environmental NGO's. As Editor of Business Puerto Rico Magazine, I tried to dwell in the common areas between the business world and the environmental world. I was just accepted to Columbis University's Masters of Science in Sustainability Management program, which starts in the fall.

I believe climate change, Peak Oil, social justice, healthcare and the economic crises must all be resolved holistically; I believe small businesses and clearer communications (two areas I know well) will become cornerstones to the new economy. I believe we must all do as much as we possibly can as fast as we can because we are running out of time.
