Many products, but not all, are focused on renewable energy, another EarthSayers.tv Special Collection.
This collection addresses other emerging markets in diverse industries ranging from agriculture to information technology to biotechnology as well as beauty and wellness. Sustainability calls on us to consider innovation more broadly to include not just the technical, but the social and environmental as well.

Closing the Technology Gap by Frank Schott of NetHope |
Most of the world still lacks adequate technology which hurts business growth, slows aid to disaster victims, and keeps people from communicating with each other.
