Marc Barasch, Founder, Executive Director, Green World Campaign:
Peter Crosby is perhaps the brightest, most competent, and most globally-oriented professional I have ever worked with collegially. He is an unusual combination of visionary and pragmatist. He has an immutable sense of integrity. Peter is able to prioritize what is necessary and of immediate value as opposed to blue sky propositions. He provides sound strategies for global scaleability, with an emphasis on sober timelines. He is a changemaker who is a delight to be around: in the midst of working on the tough and seemingly intractable problems of the world, he maintains a well-balanced perspective, and rare sense of humor. Peter would be an asset for an executive role in any company that wishes to thrive.

Douglas Keiller, Board Director, CompuMentor.org:
I got to work with Peter on devising a radical new business strategy for Compumentor (www.compumentor.org), a leading technology provider. Peter and I were tasked with generating a big new revenue stream. The concept we developed has now become Discountech www.discountech.org, a $6 million cash stream for Compumentor. Peter is a big thinker and, uniquely, great at turning new ideas into success. (2004)
Susan Tenby; Online Community Director, TechSoup:
Peter came up with our brand name. It has been a success, and many other organizations are constantly informing us of what a good brand we have.

Columbia University’s Earth Institute and Professor Jeffrey Sachs provided technical advice.
Gary Bolles, U.S. Co-Coordinator, AMP, worked directly with Peter:
Peter is a tremendously integrative thinker, with the ability to see emerging patterns and to devise strategies in response to those patterns. He doggedly pursues his passions, and can achieve much with limited help.

Branch — Sustainable Design for Living
Branch is an online / offline retailer of highly-aesthetic and strictly-sustainable product for modern living. Branch exists to encourage sustainable thinking by everyday people in everyday ways and to advance the sustainability movement. We believe that products should be made in the most environmentally and socially responsible ways possible, and that the best way to promote those practices is to do it in the marketplace. So we apply very tight sustainability filters to the products we allow into our Branch collection; namely:
- The materials used must be environmentally responsible.
- The manufacturing process must be ecologically sound.
- The labor employed must be treated fairly and provided safe, healthy conditions in which to work.
