Benjamin’s passion for environmental advocacy came while backpacking through the rainforests of Belize in college. After weeks of studying neotropical diversity, he stumbled upon his first clear cut forest and his environmental consciousness was forever changed. He believes that cleantech will prove instrumental in reversing negative environmental trends that threaten society, and that it is also an economic opportunity not to be missed. Using video as a vehicle for change, Benjamin focuses on using the emotional impact of first person narratives to inspire consumers to transcend barriers to adoption of cleantech products.
