Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur talking about Solar Power

May 20, 2011   //   by admin   //   Sustainability  //  Comments Off

One of my all time favorite classics scenes from the movie, “You Can’t Take it With You”.

In which Jimmy and Jean talk about the paradigm of fear and passion, Banking and finance, commitment and duty, The Sun, plants and Solar Power, the secret to happiness, and falling in love. All in the space of five minutes with no cuts or edits.

They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore!

Mapping the Social Investing Space: Failure and Criticism
Join a candid discussion from the frontlines of managing social change as Kate Cochran, and Premal Shah, President of Kiva, speak with Jonathan C. Lewis, Founder of MicroCredit Enterprises and the Opportunity Collaboration, on how social enterprises have weathered the “negative publicity” storms originating from SKS, Unitus, Kiva, Compartamos and Shorebank. How does negative blowback affect the social investment climate? What are learned lessons, what can we do differently and what does it mean for the future of social capital?
