This video presentation advocates a new socio-economic system, which is updated to present-day knowledge, featuring the life-long work of Social Engineer, Futurist, Inventor and Industrial Designer Jacque Fresco, which he calls a Resource-Based Economy. This documentary details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system.... Paradise or Oblivion, by The Venus Project, introduces the viewer to a more appropriate value system that would be required to enable this caring and holistic approach to benefit human civilization. This alternative surpasses the need for a monetary-based, controlled, and scarcity-oriented environment, which we find ourselves in today.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KphWsnhZ4Ag#!

April 30, 2013 CSRWire Talkback - Giles Hutchins Bios – life. Mimicry – to copy. ... Einstein famously said ‘Look deep into nature and you shall find the answer.’ ... Time To Transform? It has become patently clear to many that business is undergoing a metamorphosis. Due to a perfect storm of social, economic and environmental factors, organizations have little option other than to seek out opportunities in these volatile times, adapt and evolve to what the book The Nature of Business refers to as “firms of the future” – businesses more akin to living organisms than mechanistic monoliths designed for the Industrial Era. These firms of the future can take inspiration from nature at all levels within their strategies and operations.

SUSTAINABILITY SHOULD FOCUS ON THE WHOLE INTER-CONNECTED WEB OF LIFE, NOT JUST ON HUMAN PROSPERITY May 17, 2013 Guardian Sustainable Business Corporate visions of sustainability focus on material prosperity – but leaders must respect the soul as well as the soil, writes Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee... As our world stumbles to the brink of ecological collapse, the "tipping point" of irreversible climate change, sustainability has become a vital issue. But in order to consider the question of sustainability, it is important to begin with the question: who or what is being sustained? Does sustainability refer to sustained economic growth, and an environment that is able to maintain the status quo with our energy-intensive, consumer driven needs? Or does sustainability refer to the whole ecosystem, an interconnected web of life with its vast and rich diversity of species?

May 9, 2013 Harvard Business Review A new study by Hay Group shows that female leaders tend to have better interpersonal skills. Research by Hay Group, culled from its 17,000-person behavioral competency database in 2012, finds that when it comes to empathy, influence, and the ability to manage conflicts in the executive level, women show more skill than men. Specifically, women are more likely to show empathy as a strength, demonstrate strong ability in conflict management, show skills in influence, and have a sense of self-awareness... http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2013/05/few_executives_are_self-aware.html?referral=00563&cm_mmc=email-_-newsletter-_-daily_alert-_-alert_date&utm_source=newsletter_daily_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert_date

Starbucks is the latest company to join the suspended coffee movement. It’s an initiative originating from Naples, Italy which allows you to reserve a cup of coffee for the homeless along with your usual order. The movement started as a way to give something back to those of us less fortunate in this world and has gained a huge following around the world, with more and more establishments adopting the policy every day. ... http://www.psfk.com/2013/05/starbucks-homeless-coffee.html

May 1, 2013 Mother Jones Baby's first rifle? The Crickett Firearms website is down, but we've got their photo gallery of armed tykes right here. Clearly the issue of parental responsibility is at the center of this tragedy. But against the backdrop of the Newtown massacre and ongoing national debate over regulating firearms, it also points back to the big business of guns—including how the industry profits from products aimed at children. The Pennsylvania-based maker of Crickett rifles, Keystone Sporting Arms, markets its guns with the slogan "My First Rifle." They are available with different barrel and stock designs, including some made in hot pink to appeal to young girls.... http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/05/crickett-rifle-marketing-kids Guardian UK HEY, ADVERTISERS, LEAVE OUR DEFENCELESS KIDS ALONE http://sco.lt/7z75mL

May 2, 2013 The Guardian UK Naomi Klein: A new movement has erupted demanding divestment from fossil fuel polluters – and Big Green is in their sights... Maybe that shouldn't come as a complete surprise, since some of the most powerful and wealthiest environmental organisations have long behaved as if they had a stake in the oil and gas industry. They led the climate movement down various dead ends: carbon trading, carbon offsets, natural gas as a "bridge fuel" – what these policies all held in common is that they created the illusion of progress while allowing the fossil fuel companies to keep mining, drilling and fracking with abandon. We always knew that the groups pushing hardest for these false solutions took donations from, and formed corporate partnerships with, the big emitters. But this was explained away as an attempt at constructive engagement – using the power of the market to fix market failures. Now it turns out that some of these groups are literally part-owners of the industry causing the crisis they are purportedly trying to solve. And the money the green groups have to play with is serious.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/03/giants-green-world-profit-planets-destruction THE GREAT "GREEN WASH" - MULTI-NATIONALS SIT ON NATURE CONSERVANCY LEADERHIP COUNCIL WHILE DESTROYING ENVIRONMENT http://thegoodhuman.com/2012/06/28/monsanto-on-nature-conservancy-leadership-council/ WORKING WITH BUSINESS: THE NATURE CONSERVANCY BUSINESS COUNCIL (LIST) http://www.nature.org/about-us/working-with-companies/businesscouncil/index.htm ------------------------- WHY THIS IS A CONCERN: WATCH: THE DOW CORPORATE SPIN +++IMPORTANCE OF CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY - THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zDHU6tp6CCY#!

May 2, 2014 - CHICAGO (Reuters) - New efforts to force labeling of foods made with genetically modified crops, including a bill introduced by U.S. lawmakers Wednesday, have struck a nerve with biotech crop developers who say they are rushing to roll out a broad strategy to "combat" consumer concerns about their products. Executives from Monsanto Co., DuPont, and Dow Chemical, among the world's largest developers of biotech crops and the chemicals used to help produce them, told Reuters this week they are putting together a campaign aimed at turning the tide on what they acknowledge is a growing public sentiment against genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used as ingredients in the nation's food supply... http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/25/us-usa-gmo-labeling-idUSBRE93O18S20130425 U.S. GMO FOOD LABELING DRIVE http://sco.lt/69fO6b
