Apologies for the dead air this week... work has been busy as we prepare for the big GrowSmart Summit. If you'll be near Maine tomorrow, consider taking the day to check it out: we'll have over 30 workshops on the connections between Maine's economy, our environment, and our governance - including a number of workshops that discuss the rising prospects of new sustainable industries in Maine.

Also somewhat related, here are two blogs by "fourth sector" venture capitalists that I found this morning. I haven't had the time to read them in detail and they seem wicked wonkish at first blush, but I plan to go back and read more soon:

• The Green Skeptic: A microfinance professional writes about environmental "social entrepreneurship" and green tech innovations.


• Clean Tech Blog: Where a bunch of venture capitalists and industry insiders blog about emerging energy alternatives.
