The gala opening of the David Brower Center this Sunday in downtown Berkeley is, literally, a dream come true. I say this because I sat down four years ago with the founder and chief visionary of Berkeley’s showcase green office building, Peter Buckley, and the renowned UC Berkeley cognitive scientist, George Lakoff, to talk about what it means to create a place for good people to work, live, play, and help make the world a better place.

I had the good fortune to see Muhammad Yunus speak last week at the Commonwealth Club, and he was very inspiring. He spoke a bit about his
overall philosophy of poverty reduction, some about Grameen’s new corporate joint ventures (such as with Danone), and about Grameen
Bank’s new program for beggars.

I feel like a kid in a candy store because I have been in Washington, D.C. all week attending briefings on domestic and foreign policy issues. Listening and learning about new policy initiatives is one of my favorite ways to spend the day.
