Sustainability’s Megatrends and Megaforces

We have been saying for a while that sustainability makes real good business sense. Now there’s a Harvard Business Review study which confirms it. Go sustainable and go for the long term. And we draw attention to 10 Global Sustainability Megaforces.  Energy efficiency regularly gets the star treatment here too. Europe has to put its money – what little is left – where its mouth is. It will help the Euro and jobs. How about three smart solutions to deal with climate change and rising temperatures or three good news items from the auto industry? People in the news: R.K.Pachauri, and Muhammad Yunus. Nike is dying to go green, while the Heartand Institute springs a leak.  Singapore Airshow was the place to see more than aircraft –a row over aviation emissions and Europe’s plan to tax international airlines. Australia is looking at solar as a way to make a big switch from coal fired to renewable energy, while China’s big carbon schemes come under more scrutiny.  Last word is about some leaders who are lost to the climate cause, but hopefully not for good. – Ken Hickson
