Seventh Generation's C42 Program states that each employee is given $5,000 toward home improvements, such as [installing] solar panels. It isn't difficult to envision such an incentive for community-wide adoption of solar power energy generation. Because solar panel adoption is low among individual residences, shifting the emphasis to community energy generation makes sense. When the larger community is involved, social acceptance has better rates of adoption of practices related to technology.

I agree with Gary, although the idea presents clear benefits in terms of waste generation, socio-economic sustainability, and radical resource efficiency, shipping items nationally (as opposed to local community swaps) does not present a systemic long-term solution to this challenge, due to the increased fossil fuel/GHG emissions component. Having local swaps not only addresses the transportation impacts, it also can foster community building in a way that much exceeds the capabilities of a nati

One of the sustainability issues is travel -- and for over ten years, a lot of companies have been using telecommunications and the Internet to replace business trips.
Virtual worlds such as Second Life provide a free venue for companies to create collaboration among geographically distributed staff that allows multimedia tools and accommodates different learning styles.
IBM and others have pioneered this environment, bridging distance and time zones without burning travel ho

I was inspired by Seventh Generations discussions on their "shortcomings" and how they hope to approve in the future. I would use the $5,000 in two parts...I would use half to help my co-op building in Brooklyn use 7th Generation products for our cleaning to help our building become more "sustainable and green." I was on a "green committee" that was formed a few years ago, but unfortunately, our "shortcoming" was that our work and other responsibilities put the cleaning products on the back bu

I was most inspired by Seventh Generation's partnership with WAGES for two reasons: the collaboration with communities who use and/or are affected by SG's projects and its work with women. I am the project coordinator for FeverGrass Project, a collaboration with artists, educators, community leaders, government workers and youth in Central America and the U.S. regarding the use of polystyrene and its connection to collective remembrance. This past summer, we had the honor of traveling to Beliz

I believe that one fundamental problem that underlies many of the problems we have in this world is the inability for people to see the commonality, connections, and shared fate between all of us and an unwillingness to see difference as a positive thing. My dolleages and I at the Aspen Institute Roundtable on Community Change have developed a racial equity seminar that helps overcome this challenge by helping participants experience a congnive shift in their views about race. We've held these
