Direct communication with CEO (Jeff Swartz) is one of the best way to attract stakeholders. Targeting the similar industry & inviting a larger group will be helpful and also a National Campaign will be useful upto a greater extent.

Great call. I found myself surprised not to hear Jeff Swartz reporting out on Timberland%u2019s progress and accomplishments in this innovative program, but instead emphatically asking the call participants to help with this challenge of engagement. Great opportunity for crowdsourcing. Comments and engagement from people at Stonyfield Farm made for a rich conversation. Also love the idea about using inspiring change agents in marketing campaigns. Could be richer if more companies could join in and share challenges and ideas for engaging consumers in general.

We look forward to continuing this dialogue online! Here's a question to start us off:
How can we activate the largest possible Earthkeeping community and inspire people to participate?
