Conscious Exclusive

Did you see H&M came out with a 'Conscious Exclusive' collection of clothing made from at least 50 percent sustainable or recycled material?  I mean, how lovely is this dress?

Business finding ways to make business decisions good for their bottom line and for the longevity of our planet- a win/win.

Part of the issue is, we don't have to consider the full lifecycle of goods.  We take the ability to 'waste' for granted.  Perhaps we would make different consumption decision if we had to pay something like a rental fee in landfills?  One could say we pay this through taxes, but I'd venture to say we don't pay the true value. 

A muses musings.

Knowledge is power.....

..... and these free-of-charge courses stand to provide some serious knowledge.  Through transverse properties, I imagine that means these courses will provide some serious power.  And, sustainable development is important for power, both literally and figuratively.

Think about it- natural resources provide physical power for consumers.  Countries growing in a sustainable manner, maintain their power generating natural resources.  Groups who need energy (or power) sources are at the whim of those who have natural resources.  In our current culture paradigm, physical power (carbon based) wields political power.

Jeffery Sachs and friends (ie. pretty darn smart and accomplished scholars in their areas of expertise) have partnered up to offer free lectures, coursework, reading and group chats online through the Sustainable Development Solutions Network .  Click here to see the 3 classes being offered.  The topics look groovy and edifying if you are looking to beef up in any of these topics:

Side note, I am not paid for this plug.  I just like sharing information that might be useful if you come across this blog.

Cheers!
