Chris Horner
Host of Business Earth
Chris Horner graduated from UC Berkeley with a combined degree in architecture/ environmental design, solidifying a lifelong passion for sustainable design and technology. After Berkeley, Chris followed an equally long-standing passion for cinema, working in Hollywood for several years as an art director in movies and tv. He also began writing his own projects, leading to an opportunity to write, direct and produce commercials and then other television programs in Paris, where Chris moved in 1987. He was a founding member of L’Association Jour de la Terre, which brought Earth Day to France for the first time in 1990. Over the next 25 years, Chris alternated between free-lance movie design and business consulting work in Los Angeles, and writing and directing programs for broadcasters in France, Morocco, Italy and Germany, including long-form documentaries. One of the most personally meaningful of these was writing/directing/co-producing “Trouble in Paradise”, a film about the tiny South Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, one of the first sovereign nations facing total destruction due to the effects of climate change / sea-level rise. The film had a long life on tv and at festivals around the world.
In parallel with his film work and throughout his professional life, Chris has maintained a deep interest and involvement in environmental issues and green business. In addition to working with several renewable energy startups, Chris has returned to Tuvalu several times, working extensively with the Government of Tuvalu via AlofaTuvalu, a Paris and Tuvalu-based NGO.
Chris lives in Santa Barbara, California with his partner Ellen Strickland and their dog Minnie. He continues writing and working in green business and communications including GreenTV.com, where he is a partner, strategist and the producer/writer/host of Business:Earth. He remains steadfast in his belief that working toward a regenerative economy is vital for civilization and capitalism to transition to a wiser, healthier and more sustainable home planet Earth -- vital for getting us all from our troubled “here” to a better “there”.
