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? What is the relationship between sustainability and the economy? http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/eco-spirituality-values-based-economic-structure May 22, 2012 Guardian Sustainable Business - Guardian Professional

May 10, 2013 Harvard Business Review Privately-held companies have a better chance of retaining a leadership position. One of the dilemmas of firms in rapidly transforming environments is that their ownership structure may get in the way of making tough decisions. Investors in publicly traded companies are understood to desire stable, predictable earnings and growth. But such expectations are unrealistic in many industries. As noted management expert Geoffrey Moore told me with respect to high-velocity competition, "I'm not sure you ever want to be in the public markets." The problems with public markets and quarter-by-quarter thinking are many, but for companies in fast-changing environments the biggest issue is that public markets are not patient — miss a quarter and the punishment can be severe.... http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2013/05/parting_ways_with_public_tradi.html May 16, 2013 Daily Kos:

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#!

Joe Sacco and Chris Hedges (Pulitzer Prize Winner) spent two years reporting from the poorest pockets of the United States.... ..what happens when unfettered corporate capitalism and ceaseless economic expansion no longer have external impediments. We wanted to illustrate what unrestrained corporate exploitation does to families, communities and the natural world. We wanted to challenge the reigning ideology of globalization and laissez-faire capitalism to illustrate what life becomes when human beings and the ecosystem are ruthlessly turned into commodities to exploit until exhaustion or collapse. And we wanted to expose as impotent the formal liberal and governmental institutions that once made reform possible, institutions no longer equipped with enough authority to check the assault of corporate power.... http://www.globalpossibilities.org/rise-up-or-die/ May 7, 2013 Moyers & Company

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

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#!
