General Information

About Jacob:	We're working on dot eco, a domain, but also a system for aggregating environmental and social information online. We started Big Room Inc. because we wanted to take a great idea and make it real. It’s easy to think of a word like ‘eco’ and imagine it as a .eco, with millions of .eco names around the world identifying something as eco-oriented. But we knew achieving that wasn’t going to be as easy as it looked. When we began work on .eco the hardest part for us was figuring out what does .eco stand for? We saw that a lot of people were asking what makes something eco-friendly, and no one had yet come up with a comprehensive answer. To us, this looked most like an information management problem. Lots of eco-information is being produced, but it is rarely collected and presented in a simple and connected way.

What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	The .eco system will display current, detailed eco-information to anyone with a browser, anytime they need it, anywhere on the planet.
