I can’t help but draw the connection between our recent extreme weather and businesses today—corporations are increasingly recognizing that they, too, are navigating two powerful forces. One force demands financial results, while the other requires increasingly sophisticated techniques to respond to climate, energy, resource scarcity, and other sustainability risks. The ways businesses navigate both these forces will determine whether they are truly viable over the long-term.

The Environmental Movement: a Celebration

The Environmental Movement: a Celebration | The Glory of the Garden | Scoop.it

"Rachel Carson, arguably one of the most influential environmentalists, is considered the founder of the contemporary environmental movement. Carson wrote many books throughout her career at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, but it was the book that she published in 1964 that had an overwhelming affect on Americans.
‘Silent Spring’ was the culmination of observations and research conducted throughout Carson’s career on the negative impact of synthetic pesticides, specifically the pesticide DDT. This book reflected a growing concern among Americans about the state of our environment. Carson, a bestselling author, was the recipient of the Burroughs Medal, and the National Book Award for non-fiction."
