Today is a good day to choose to save the world
Larry Brilliant, CEO of Google.Org, said a lot of good stuff this week, but perhaps the most profound thing he said was “Today is a good day to choose to save the world”.
“Global warming is something that happens to all of us. We are in this together. It’s critically important for corporations to step up.”
Brilliant admitted that Google and others can only address “a handful of the world’s problems”, but said organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Carter Center and the Rockefeller Foundation have the potential to do even more. Speaking on the day of the US presidential election, Brilliant said people should be optimistic about the future. “Today is a good day to choose to save the world,” he said.
Don’t you just love the new optimism that’s blossomed from the news of Obama’s victory. The choices you make each day are what the future is built on. — DS
