Journal Discussion for Friday, Feb. 23, 2007

This week we began to contact sustainable and non-sustainable businesses to collaborate with on our Action Project.  We also had some folks researching web-sites and other sources so that we can be a beneficial resource for whichever businesses we end up working with.  For this journal entry I’d like you to explain something that you’ve learned about sustainable business so far.  I’d like if if whatever you choose to write about is something bigger than, say, having learned that Styrofoam lasts for 10,000 years. Be sure to include the following in your journal entry:

    1. What have you learned?
    2. What were your ideas about this particular thing BEFORE we started researching this topic?
    3. How has your new knowledge changed your view on sustainable business?

As always, your response should be thoughtful, lengthy (2-3 paragraphs) and edited.
