I have taken on a new job as Executive Director of the Center for Resource Solutions, here in San Francisco. CRS is the nonprofit agency that created and administers the Green-e certification program for renewable energy and carbon-offset products sold at the retail level.I'll be directing a terrifically talented staff that has made CRS an international leader in providing consumer-protection tools and strategic analysis for these emerging markets.Although this means I'm evolving away from the field of professional journalism that I've happily pursued for 30 years, I am excited and honored to have been chosen to take the reins from CRS founder Jan Hamrin.
We have several new initiatives in the works for 2008, and I hope you will explore our many activities at www.resource-solutions.org.
