It’s a fun, funny, and motivational way to tackle green topics with satire that isclean, efficient, and sustainable. A veteran of numerous conferences, Bob has shared hisinsights with Forbes, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, IBM, Honda, Cox Communications,the National Association of Homebuilders and hundreds of others.Bob Hirschfeld initially made his mark with a popular humor website awarded a prestigious Top 100 by PC Magazine. He followed this with his own brand of “stand-up with a laptop” satire for conferences that includes parodies, visual punch lines and audience participation. His humor has appeared in Newsweek,The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and USA Today. For several years, he was a contributing writer to JayLeno for The Tonight Show.
