Summary:

"Ever since Al Gore sounded the alarm bell, people are re-focusing on the crisis of climate change. Smart entrepreneurs know that more and more, consumers are willing to pay to help clear their eco-conscience. So Fortune Hunters scoured the country coast to coast looking for eco-entrepreneurs. In Montreal, meet Michael Keeffe, hunting his fortune with +1 Water, the first bio-degradeable water bottle, made from corn. In Toronto, catch up with Howie Chong, and his company Carbon Zero, working to make a lucrative venture out of carbon offsetting. And in Vancouver, follow the fortune hunters with the most dramatic story - Laura Lee Normandeau and Geoff Baker owners of an eco-friendly carwash that's in hot water"--container. Also profiles Glenn Bailey's Canadian Springs success story.
