Going green does not need to be a sacrifice, either for us as individuals or for businesses, governments and the economy.The second video is from A song and drink for Earth Day at Booman Tribune. watch Florence and the Machine turn "So Big, So Blue, So Beautiful" into an environmental anthem.
Live version of their song for a climate change eventIn addition, I shared How the Environment Has Changed Since the First Earth Day from National Geographic and 48 Years Of Earth Day Have Changed The Air We Breathe [Infographic] from Forbes at the Join the Coffee Party Movement Facebook page. That's a lot of education and entertainment for the occasion, all of which fit what I wrote for the Coffee Party and then included in yesterday's A reminder of why I write this blog at Crazy Eddie's Motie News.
"I have been advocating for all aspects of sustainability, viable natural environments, nurturing communities, and sufficient economies, on my blog Crazy Eddie's Motie News since 2011. There, I educate my readers on these topics and hope to inspire them to work for an equitable social environment, sustainable economic development, and a sustainable natural and built environment."May I continue to do so.
Join with Grand River Printing & Imaging at the Detroit Institute of Arts on April 21st from 8:00am to noon to learn practical ways to reduce, reuse and recycle ... and reap rewards.Suddenly, this topic looks a lot more interesting. Time to do to Ford what I did to Walmart--examine their sustainbility pages.
This year our speaker is Andy Acho, environmental initiative expert and former Worldwide Director of Environmental Strategy and Outreach at Ford Motor Company. At 9:30am in the DIA Lecture Hall, Andy will be sharing some of his experiences and best-practices at the corporate level that demonstrate how being environmentally sustainable is also about good business.
Ford Motor Company has published its 11th annual non-financial report, entitled Blueprint for Sustainability - The Future at Work.In two paragraphs, Ford already looks better than Walmart. If nothing else, they talk about values and society in addition to touting how their actions are good for both the environment and the bottom line. Of course, that's just the exterior. For an examination of how things look under the hood, read the rest at Crazy Eddie's Motie News.
Our vision is for our sustainability reporting to demonstrate our values, as well as to reflect and drive outstanding economic, environmental and social performance.
Our broad environmental goals at Walmart are simple and straightforward:These goals are all about ecology and economy; there is little or nothing about society. The makers of the movie Walmart: the high cost of low price had a lot to say about the chain's effect on society and local economies. Walmart changed many, but not all, of its behavior after that film came out. Note that the corporation earned most of awards for good corporate citizenship after 2005.
