　　Hybrid.Stand is an exciting opportunity to motivate anyone and everyone who wants to make some type of positive impact or statement regarding the issue of sustainability. This program takes what is talked about in the media at a very high level down to those who want to contribute and make a difference but don‘t know how to share or gain support for their ideas，says Bobbie Parisi， VP of Marketing.
