Congrats to PERC enviropreneur, Summer Rayne Oakes, for winning the 2011 Cartier Women’s Initiative Award in Deauville, France for her new business Source4Style.
On Wed, October 12th Benita and I gave our 30-minute oral presentation for Source4Style. Jury members deliberated that evening. And this past Friday, winners were announced for each region during the Women’s Forum. When our project came up on screen as the North American Laureates, well…we nearly wept…It is such an honor to be recognized with all the other fabulouswomen in the group.Learn more about Source4Style in PERC Reports and watch Summer at PERC's Enviropreneur Institute here.
Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
