Many leaders going to Copenhagen conference came to Beirut two weeks before to start the talks. UN Foundation Senior Fellow, Dr. Mohamen Al-Ashry spoke on a panel with me. He was very hopeful at the time. Five parts of my talk on Carbon and then Moving from commodities to value-adding businesses, are now posted on my Youtube channel. My point on carbon is, we can’t be carbon neutral because that means life neutral. Carbon is the basis of life. To say “neutral” is miss the living systems nature. Carbon is “positive” when seen from nature’s shoes. From Carbon Neutral to Carbon Positive is the title of the first talk.

The second talk was looking at industries as moving from commodity to Value-adding contributors.
