"ITI has approached it from a user perspective,
involving relevant Ashoka staff members to give
feedback along the process. I think this will
ensure the system adds value to everyone it
effects." Silvia Giovannoni, Global Program
Director, Ashoka Support Network, UK " We
have become much more efficient and professional
and are able to manage the knowledge in the team
much better. The more I work with it, the more I
like the new Salesforce " Oda Heister, Venture
Director, Germany "I think it will be a good
step to normalize the processes and get us all
thinking on the same page. The Salesforce tool is
enabling us to work much more closely as a team "
Kenny Clewett, Venture Staff, Spain "I
thought the process was extremely well run and
the implementation is on course to be a big
success." Sebastian McDermott, Venture Staff,
UK This is fundamentally transformative.

rights, environmental health and sustainability,
urban renewal, and green economics. We envision
local, state and national commitments to job

communities.

28Eco-Apartheid?
- There is danger of Eco-Apartheid where who can
afford it will not be exposed to pollution and
will benefit from investments in green
technologyavoiding Eco-Apartheid means ensuring
that the people who were locked out of a
pollution-based economy will be locked into a
solution-based one.
29What is a Green-Collar Job?

Job that has been upgraded to better respect the
environment. Green Jobs include, but are not

31Drill Here, Drill Now?
- It has been proven that drilling Americas oil
reserves, both onshore and offshore, would only
reduce the price of gas by 1.3 percent in ten
years! - In two years the U.S. could create two million
new jobs and be on our way to fueling our cars
and appliances with electricity from a clean
energy grid that costs around 1 for the
equivalent of a gallon. One dollar!
