Generally innovation in the context of sustainability focuses on the conversations around the role of innovation by business leaders who advocate the development of sound business models to encourage investment in new products and services. Many, but not all, of these products are around renewable energy, another EarthSayers.tv Special Collection, so this collection addresses other emerging markets as well in diverse industries ranging from agriculture to information technology to biotechnology as well as beauty and wellness. Sustainability, however, calls on us to consider innovation more broadly to include not just the technical, but the social and environmental as well. Innovation may be found in conversations around ethical sourcing, social innovation conferences, and in the role of social entrepreneur.

Introduction to Tees At Risk |
| Our company, Tees at Risk, is one of the first apparel companies in the
US to be certified as a B Corporation. Our t-shirts are designed by
at-risk youth, and each design benefits a different youth-focused
nonprofit. Each design also has an embedded QR code which when scanned
with a smartphone displays the youthful artists’ “story behind the
shirt.” More on the company on their Website. We are
always looking for: (1) more designs, (2) more organizations to work
with, and (3) custom design projects. We’d love to hear from you! EarthSayer Ben Weiner |
