The Phoenix.  In myth, this bird would build a pyre on which to burn itself and then re-emerge from its ashes.  Volans (http://www.volans.com/), the new venture founded by John Elkington, borrows this imagery to symbolize the current economic meltdown -- and potential re-incarnation into a more sustainable economic order.  Today, we speak with John Elkington about the Phoenix Economy report from his offices in the UK.  Elkington coined the term triple bottom line, referring to people, planet , and profits, and he founded the sustainable development consultancy and think tank SustainAbility (http://www.sustainability.com/) in 1987.  BusinessWeek called him the "dean of the corporate responsibility movement."  Baue started by asking him to describe the notion behind the Phoenix Economy.  He later asks Elkington to distinguish between the Phoenix Economy and the Chrysalis Economy (http://www.amazon.com/Chrysalis-Economy-Citizen-Corporations-Creation/dp/1841121428), the name of his 2001 book.   Elkington also serves on the Sea Change Advisory Board (http://www.cchange.net/advisory-board/), and agreed to participate in the first Roundtable with Sea Change members posing questions of sustainability experts in the second half of the show.
