Innovation changing the way we live

Changing the way we live

Good, the magazine “for people who give a damn”, recently released its first-ever The Good 100 list in its Fall 2009 issue.  Billed as a list of “…people, businesses, projects, organizations and ideas that will be improving the planet and the lives of the people on it”, the list includes everything from Lebônê Solutions’s microbial fuel cell technology to the U.S. Cash for Clunkers initiative to the bottled water ban initiated by Bundanoon, Australia.

For those interested in social or environmental innovations, the list makes for an inspirational read.
