This video does a great job at explaining the term, corporate social responsibility. Simply put, it states that CSR is the way businesses make their profit, and not how they spend it.
It contrasts the current methods of distributing profits through charitable contributions, also known as corporate philanthropy. compared to the idea of the systemic change necessaryin the way our current market economy supports those within it if we choose to use this system to support future generations.

Goals of the WILD Cities Project include identifying successful urban initiatives aligned with the principles of Nature Needs Half, formulating criteria for defining a WILD city, and developing strategies to communicate to the public the need for nature in our cities. http://wild10.org/en/program/the-global-foru/working-coalitions/wild-cities YES Magazine, November 29, 2014 City Lab, February 02, 2015 REWILD THE CHILD BEAUTIFUL WATCH Mongabay, April 11, 2014 - ▶ LIFE FINDS A WAY: THE SURPRISING BIODIVERSITY OF CITIES.

The goals are conservation while providing a unique living experience. Biodiversity, however, often is lower on the totem pole of priorities. For the first time in our history, more people live in urban vs. rural areas and humans continue to move into cities. Cities have huge impacts on our natural resources. Urban dwellers consume vast amounts of energy, produce waste, and alter landscapes to the point where native plant and animal populations decline precipitously. As cities grow, people have pondered -- can we develop land without destroying our natural heritage?.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-hostetler/the-green-leap-can-we-con_b_1314981.html Ars Technica, January 23, 2014

![]() The Atlantic, April 20, 2015 - ▶ HOW CORPORATE LOBBYISTS CONQUERED AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. One has to go back to the Gilded Age to find business in such a dominant political position in American politics. Something is out of balance in Washington. Corporations now spend about $2.6 billion a year on reported lobbying expenditures—more than the $2 billion we spend to fund the House ($1.18 billion) and Senate ($860 million). It’s a gap that has been widening since corporate lobbying began to regularly exceed the combined House-Senate budget in the early 2000s. Today, the biggest companies have upwards of 100 lobbyists representing them, allowing them to be everywhere, all the time. For every dollar spent on lobbying by labor unions and public-interest groups together, large corporations and their associations now spend $34. Of the 100 organizations that spend the most on lobbying, 95 consistently represent business.

![]() A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security."~ Albert Einstein Guardian Sustainable Business, January 08, 2013 -▶ HOW A SENSE OF SACRED CAN HELP SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS - RESTORING VALUES.

"Thich Nhat Hanh suggests that a greater intellectual knowledge of the impact of our destructive behaviour, or of nature's wonders, will not create the change that is necessary and that only a deeper connection to our hearts and a personal insight into the inter-being of everything in the universe, can offer hope to humanity."
![]() The Guardian, June 27, 2014 ▶ MODERN SLAVERY WILL CONTINUE IF CORPORATIONS KEEP PASSING THE BUCK: It makes good business sense for companies to actively pursue an ethical supply chain. Philanthropy to worthy third parties is not enough. The Guardian's painstaking investigation into the Thai seafood sector and the US state department's annual Trafficking in Persons Report have offered arresting revelations in recent days. Not only have shrimp supply chains worldwide proved to be tainted by forced labour on Thai vessels and on soil. These reports show how businesses of all kinds are sullied by slavery – yielding $150bn in profit each year, according to the International Labour Organisation. Many people suppose that most trafficking is for sexual exploitation (as in Thailand's own sex trade). Yet 68% of victims are exploited for labour – like in the violent seafood-processing facility in Samut Sakhon that several young Burmese women in a Thai shelter vividly described to me when I was the US anti-trafficking envoy. And many executives assume that tracing labour conditions in their supply chains is futile and prohibitively costly. Yet if the Guardian can do it, the business community surely can – and must. To abolish today's slavery, businesses must actively be part of the solution. Philanthropy to worthy anti-trafficking organisations is not as important as businesses living by the equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath – at least do no harm. Single companies can act alone – such as the outdoor clothing company Patagonia, which carefully sources the down that goes into their winter vests and jackets... http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jun/27/modern-slavery-corporations-business-sense-ethical-supply-chain TriplePundit, April 02, 2015 INVESTIGATION The Ecologist, http://www.theecologist.org/trial_investigations/1734561/who_is_picking_our_food.html VIDEO INVESTIGATION (10:12) "Slave labour" behind our cheap food | Special investigation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Encjsrh17P8#t=32 Mongabay, April 01, 2015 http://news.mongabay.com/2015/0401-palm-oil-scorecard.html AP INVESTIGATION SF Gate, March 26, 2015 Daily Mail, March 25, 2015 THE BUSINESS CASE FOR SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY Is "Sustainable" Seafood Really Sustainable?

Ashley Bogar's curator insight,
April 1, 2015 10:20 AM
Come April of 2015 China is ready to set a new law that gives Beijing more power against factories that are polluting the environment. This new law will allow them to punish business officials and place protected regions off-limits to industrial development. This new law states that the environment is a priority and will give the power to environmental enforcers to “veto” production in the industries until they have met their targets. They are also looking to eliminate the punishment of maximum fine as companies will pay this fine and still continue on with their same procedures. I think that it is important for people to see a CSR program within their government and I feel that it is too strongly geared towards strictly corporations. We have seen in some cases such as the United States where ultimately the corporations run the show but the government needs to take responsibility as they have put themselves in the position to take care of the people and they need to live up to it. I believe that getting rid of the fine penalty will be very beneficial for Beijing, you see too many cases where through a cost/benefit analysis companies will chose to take the risk of a maximum fine as they will still make more profit. An alternate solution such as a shutdown of the company whether it is permanent or temporary will be a greater threat and result in a greater desired outcome and better cooperation

Samantha Groen's curator insight,
February 17, 2015 4:44 PM
It is crazy to see the costs of the pollution and impacts of big companies that are having an impact on the environment around them put into a dollar value. It really gives a better view ti the picture. Hearing that in 2009 alone the damages exceeded the worth of $7 trillion. That is a giant amount of damage that is being done to the world we live in. The article states that a great deal of companies would not be able to continue making a profit if they stopped making the damages. This is very sad.
This article gives insight about what kind of trouble our generations have gotten us into throughout the years and some of the damage done is irreversible. It emphasizes the importance yet struggle to improve how we do things that impact around us. With the discussion we had in class regarding the increase in population and what will happen in 2050; this will have a huge influence in the future. Becoming more sustainable should be a top priority for the world to approach together.
Just my thoughts.

Natural England GR8 VIDEO (26:29) WHEN LEARNING COMES NATURALLY: EXPLORING NATURE'S CLASSROOM documents innovative outdoor-education programs around the country created to help children understand and experience the wonders and joys of nature. The film explores the immediate and lasting benefits of introducing young children to "green" experiences. Natural spaces - in the form of gardens, small trails and outdoor "green adventure" areas - allow for the discoveries and choices vital to child development and learning. In addition, outdoor education can cultivate in children a permanent connection with the natural world - a crucial ethic of environmental responsibility. http://vimeo.com/channels/371945/30186232/77981721

MANY STILL JAILED FOR INABILITY TO PAY FINES. Cities across the country are increasingly turning to what are known as private probation companies to collect unpaid fines. But are indigent people ending up in jail because they can't afford to pay? Since NewsHour Weekend's first story on this issue aired last spring, the Childersburg Municipal Court issued a “standing order” stating that “In no case shall an indigent defendant be incarcerated … based solely on his or her inability to pay fines.” But the practice continues elsewhere in the country. Special correspondent John Carlos Frey takes an in-depth look at what some are calling the return of the debtors' prison.

![]() Temple Group Blog, August 20, 2014 -▶ SAILING TOWARDS A CIRCULAR ECONOMY Since the industrial revolution, human activities haven’t usually followed cycles. Instead, they have been based on extraction, followed by manufacturing, use and disposal: the ‘take – make – use – discard’ linear process. Natural systems can cope with this up to a point without being unduly perturbed. Unfortunately, with so many people driving the use of so many resources and the production of so much waste, we have now affected many natural cycles and the consequences are far reaching. It is true that over the last 25 years or so, there has been a trend towards recycling and reuse, although this was often driven initially by the need to reduce waste going to landfill. The circular economy approach takes this a lot further. By ignoring natural cycles rather than working with them, we are warming the planet, reducing biodiversity and could threaten the ability of humans to have a high quality of life. In case you think this is just the view of someone with a professional environmental interest, you might want to take a look at what the MoD strategic outlook up to 2045. has to say about the environment. http://temple-group.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/sailing-towards-circular-economy.html SPECIAL REPORT EurActive, June 06, 2014 The sustainable sourcing of materials is crucial to the circular economy http://www.euractiv.com/sections/circular-economy GreenBiz, April 06, 2015 Sustainable Brands, March 25, 2015 The Ecologist, March 13, 2015 Circular Economy, June 26, 2014 VIDEO Davos 2013: INTRODUCING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY Decoupling Growth from Resource Use The Guardian, March 10, 2015 Greenbiz, February 04, 2015 THE McDONOUGH CONVERSATIONS GreenBiz http://www.greenbiz.com/blogs/featured/mcdonough-conversations Guardian Sustainable Business, June 24, 2014 GreenBiz, February 05, 2015 http://www.greenbiz.com/article/davos-meets-circular-economy Guardian Sustainable Business, January 29, 2015 THE WORLD IS SITTING ON A CONSUMPTION TIME BOMB Guardian Sustainable Business, January 31, 2012 -▶ A CIRCULAR ECONOMY TACKLES THE ROOT PROBLEMS OF OVER CONSUMPTION http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/circular-economy-business-models Mongabay, December 10, 2013 WHY THE ECONOMY NEEDS NATURE Mongabay, January 25, 2015 http://news.mongabay.com/2010/0125-hance_nef.html Guardian Sustainable Business, February 10, 2014 -▶ GAIA THEORY STATES THAT, IN NATURE, NOTHING IS WASTED.

Zero Footprint requires a circular economy, where all outputs must be accounted for as inputs elsewhere in the economy, where the entire lifecycle of all products is factored in, where 100% of waste becomes raw resources, powered by 100% renewable energy.

Imagine an economic community in which nobody could list the stakeholders or identify those about to default. Or try to set a value on a reference library that has catalogued only a fraction of its archive, and some of that wrongly. Think of a reserve bank with most of its ledgers missing. Humankind is in that kind of predicament: it depends almost entirely on natural capital to generate food and fibre, building materials, fuel and pharmaceuticals, to pollinate crops, filter drinking water, recycle waste and maintain the oxygen supply. Living things underwrite all national economies: money, in effect, really does grow on trees. Taxonomists identify around 18,000 new species each year, but in the same 12 months a greater number may slip into oblivion, as humans raze forests, pave or plough grasslands, bulldoze hillsides, drain swamps and dredge estuaries.Each extinction represents an asset lost or an opportunity squandered. Yet the human impact on the planetary ecosystem is now so palpable that geologists have proposed a new chronological era, the anthropocene, and biologists already call this "the sixth great extinction". http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/apr/08/map-species-project?CMP=twt_gu -▶ BUSINESS LEADERS CALL FOR ACTION TO VALUE NATURE http://sco.lt/7obEY5 Psych.Org, December 9, 2013 Our Finite World, October 31, 2013 BEYOND GDP: VIDEO REPORT THE SEARCH FOR A NEW ECONOMIC SYSTEM Transition Network One Green Planet, February 13, 2015 -▶ A CULTURE SEPARATED FROM NATURE CANNOT SURVIVE - BANKRUPTING NATURE http://sco.lt/56EkEb ▶ HOW A SENSE OF SACRED CAN HELP SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS AND ENVIRONMENT - RESTORING VALUES http://sco.lt/7ArNtB -▶ ‘SUPERORGANISATIONS' - LEARNING FROM NATURE'S NETWORKS http://sco.lt/6TcKh7 - ▶ THICH NHAT HANH: BEYOND ENVIRONMENT: FALLING BACK IN LOVE WITH MOTHER EARTH | Guardian Sustainable Business | guardian.co.uk http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/zen-thich-naht-hanh-buddhidm-business-values?intcmp=239 NATURE IS SPEAKING NEW SHORT VIDEOS On www.natureisspeaking.org a series of short films that let nature speak for itself. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/damian-carrington-blog/2014/oct/06/julia-roberts-plays-mother-earth-and-harrison-ford-stars-as-the-ocean-as-hollywood-a-list-speaks-out-for-nature ORIGINAL SOURCE: Conservation International http://natureisspeaking.org/mothernature.html - ▶ DON'T FORGET WHAT IS KEEPING YOU ALIVE: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH ON OUR ALIENATION FROM NATURE http://sco.lt/8oZkvZ The Economist, November 18, 2013

Eli Levine's curator insight,
April 29, 2014 9:26 AM
Indeed, it's not enough to call the dollar value of what you're people are buying and selling "wealth".
Where are the environmental factors that will cost us money due to the loss of economic activity (thanks to weather and climatic difficulties)? Where are the markers for well being and other aspects of human happiness?
Capitalism is going to kill itself off, regardless of what anyone does to try to save it in its present form. The death has already happened, just as the roots of death are in anything that we may develop. Either things will be eclipsed by better things, or else, they'll collapse into worse things that we'll have to dig our way out of.
I'd rather have things go the former way, rather than the latter. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a say about how we achieve that.
So, we're stuck, thanks to the stuck brains of our leadership cadre.
Enjoy!
Think about it.

"Wonder Why Marijuana Laws Are Passing So Quickly Across the USA and the World. It's Not For Your Health. And It's Not About the Drug Wars. It's about the repeat of ending "prohibition" and restructuring wealth. Big politics and "Legal" Money is involved here to capture, control and profit from this new market. The Cartels and Multi-National Corporations Have Control of a global agricultural Industry, already in place: from owning the land, to growing the crops, patenting new genetically engineered seeds, owning the pesticides and marketing .. and we're right back to toxic smoking and ill-health. Nothing new here."

This article speaks about how Colorado, particularly Denver, believes that there will be a marijuana shortage now that marijuana has been legalized. This article goes into depth about how there will be a shortage in the short run, but eventually the supply and demand should come to an equilibrium.

The report calculates that about $3.9 billion a year is spent on Medicaid and children’s healthcare for fast food workers and their families. Families also receive $1.04 billion in food stamp benefits and $1.91 billion from the federal government through the earned income tax credit.
