DESCRIPTION:Ecosystem Services:\nThe many services that nature provides to humans are 
 undervalued in commercial markets because it is difficult to put a price 
 tag on them. Now with increasing awareness about sustainability and 
 resource limitations, companies are paying more attention to such ecosystem 
 services. That means better understanding activities such as crop 
 pollination, pest control, and waste decomposition, and calculating 
 economic impacts including the benefits of those services and the costs to 
 companies and society if they are diminished. Join us for a conversation 
 with a consultant advising Wal-Mart and other companies on how to think 
 about ecosystem services and a visionary environmentalist working to 
 preserve and value biodiversity around the world.\n\nJib Ellison, CEO, Blu
