Panel Dynamics
- Radical vs. pragmatic: Chouinard gave his company to the Earth. Polman and Nooyi transformed within existing systems. Both paths produce impact.
- Corporate vs. community: Polman and Helmersson work within corporate frameworks. Maathai and Alemu start from the ground up. Both are necessary.
