There is much debate about the millennial generation. Some of our predecessors call us lazy and coddled, while others accuse us of being entitled.

In this issue of GreenMoney Journal, you will hear from four Millennials who are in various stages of their careers: two who have ventured out on their own to make an impact in their own special way, and two who choose the corporate path. Each writer brings a unique lens on what it means to make a sustainable impact.
