What People Say . . .

“Thank you so much for addressing our group.  You were a big hit and your message is so damned important.  Several people came up to me afterwards and generally said the same thing which was how can we get her message out to millions at a time. Your standing ovation was certainly deserved. I have produced 27 of these Breakfasts, and you and Randy are the only two who have gotten standing ovations. How about that!

-Jim Goodwin,

Program Chair Marin Conservation League

“Hunter possesses that rare combination of spunky spontaneity and down-home credibility. She presents well and in that I mean, she has the remarkable ability to deliver powerful statistics from years of research, coupled with the solutions that turn those discouraging statistics into practical applications for a sustainable future. And Hunter is down right fun! The cowboy had really helped smooth the way for our conservative Scottsdale audience.”

-Bell Starr,

SolFest Southwest Director

“Christopher Juniper's presentation and workshop on Natural Capitalism for the 2ndVittachi International Conference on Sustainability in August of 2003 received rave reviews from the delegates representing 10 countries. He not only gave an excellent overview of the theories of economic and environmental sustainability, but also involved all participants in a dynamic process of group problem solving the real issues confronting businesses and government. Conferees gained the experience of examining and working with these issues using their international perspective.  Conferees ranged in age and experience from 18 to 62, university students and international entrepreneurs, educators, artists and health care professionals. The theoretical and practical aspects of Mr. Juniper's presentation engaged this diverse group in lively interaction and their evaluations gave him high recommendations for his professionalism, communication abilities and depth of presentation.”

-Illene Pevec, MA

Director of Vittachi II Conference on Sustainability
