Business and the environment: Wasting resources costs the earth - and lowers your competitive edge

We can't always control what happens but we can control our response

It is environmental illiteracy and a complete lack of forward thinking to ignore the need to halt and then reverse population growth in the context of climate change, travel congestion, unaffordable housing, and resource depletion

Reasons to be positive. The economic downturn could be the catalyst for positive change. It should be translated into the wake-up call we need for a major change in aspirations and lifestyles to save humanity from the ecological and economic disaster that would otherwise result from continuing on the high carbon and resource depleting path we have been pursuing

The 20th Century approach to economics, resource depletion and over-consumption means we boom and bust until we bust more than we boom; that is precisely what is happening. In a low growth economy, the true meaning of resource efficiency in business and in everything we do is essential

It's for management to enthuse & motivate employees towards excellence in service; the profit incentive doesn't last

Everybody talks about population growth and its disastrous effect on climate change, food security and resource depletion, but nobody does anything about it
