On October 29th, 2009, from the beautiful campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Kevin Surace, Chairman & CEO of Serious Materials, gave an important and rivoting talk on The Green Economy and how it’s key for the future of America. It was part of UCSB’s Fall 2009 Distinguished Lecture Series: “The Tomorrow Makers” Change & Challenge for Entrepreneurs & Innovators. You can watch the presentation here.

Kevin’s passion, as always, is clearly on display during this lecture.
