What does the name mean?
The name ecobolt is short for ecological lightning bolt. We think of lightning bolts as these rare dramatic events, much as we think that a sudden and dramatic world change is going to happen that will make us instantly environmentally responsible. But the truth is, lightning strikes often around the globe and as a society and individuals we are converting, discovering, creating, inventing, buying, and behaving in more environmentally responsible ways everyday.
