To discuss saving the environment:

EDISON, N.J., Aug 05, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Senator John Edwards, who proposed a $13 billion per year New Energy Economy Fund and was the first presidential candidate to make his campaign carbon-neutral, will deliver a keynote speech at the SustainPro Conference and Expo, October 29-30, 2008, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. Scheduled for one week before the U.S. presidential election, Senator Edwards will address an audience of more than 2,000 operations-level corporate executives responsible for greening up their companies’ operations. In addition to Senator Edwards, the first conference to bring together operations professionals to discuss sustainable productivity strategies will feature more than 80 other sustainability experts. In his keynote, Edwards will address sustainability-era business and career success strategies.
“It tells you how important the SustainPro Conference and the topic of corporate sustainability have become that Senator John Edwards has agreed to speak so close to the presidential election. As a carbon cap-and-trade policy pioneer who introduced a detailed energy plan before any other candidate in the 2008 presidential campaign, Senator Edwards will share his mastery of the future of sustainability with North America’s largest-ever corporate sustainability audience,” says Jay Whitehead, SustainPro Conference Chair and CRO Magazine publisher.
