Social Entrepreneurship

GEW: Geoff Cape, Evergreen, and video from MaRS' SES2008

The MaRS Social Entrepreneurship Summit I wrote about a few days ago has begun posting video from the event on a Vimeo channel which you can find here.

The first video that's up is part of a keynote from Geoff Cape, the founder of Evergreen, 2007 Canadian Social Entrepreneur of the Year and Ashoka Fellow. Evergreen helps deepen the connection between people and planet by investing in the greening and naturalization of public spaces. A great example of the type of action that should scale, in model if not in organization, everywhere.
