(Justmeans.com / CSR News) - March 16, 2010 | Posted by Jerry Michalski Our inaugural EDFix module has focused on the Commons, with calls about governing the Commons, sharing green patents, bottom-up problem solving of global problems, life cycle cost analysis and most recently a dive into sharing data among health care institutions.

We'll focus this call on Silke's article "The commons as a common paradigm for social movements and beyond" and discuss why and how the concept of the Commons might matter to sustainable business. Please join us on Monday, March 22, 2010 at noon ET (9am PT) for the call: |
