While gamification has recently risen in popularity in the business world, particularly in online marketing, Zichermann discusses with host Alex Wise (http://www.cchange.net/about/alex-wise/) how gamifiying more parts of our daily routine can play a role in helping craft better policy and how gamification can encourage individuals to consciously (and sometimes subconsciously) help themselves and the environment.

For many people, the election of Barack Obama as the US President stoked hope for big change.  The transition to the Obama Administration brings promise of shifts to government regulations and policies to promote sustainability.  Long before the election, though, a group of influential sustainability leaders gathered to brainstorm recommendations to the incoming President on tackling climate change.  The Presidential Climate Action Project was born, midwived by the University of Colorado School of Public Affairs in Denver.  The P-CAP Advisory Committee hashed out a plan with over a hundred recommendations for the incoming President on climate policy. (http://www.cchange.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/new_pcap_cover.jpg)Advisory Committee member Hunter Lovins also authored a separate report for P-CAP to map a broader survey of the current sustainability landscape.  Lovins helped pioneer the sustainability movement by co-founding Rocky Mountain Institute in the 80s with Amory Lovins. They also co-authored Natural Capitalism in the late 90s Paul Hawken.  Earlier this decade, she founded Natural Capitalism Solutions.  We caught up with Lovins between commitments in California, where she teaches at the Presidio School of Management.  It's one of a handful of new MBA programs with sustainability embedded in its DNA.

Dean Foods' Horizon Organic Milk brand is under fire for its industrial farming model. Mark Kastel of the Cornucopia Institute and Steven Heim of Boston Common Asset Management speak about the shareowner engagement they've been conducting with the company, asking why Dean would want to endanger the reputation of its Horizon brand by sourcing milk from factory farms.
