Saving the best for last. This week's assignment was probably the most insightful when it came to learning about sustainability and the ties it has between our economy and our culture. One of the most important things I learned about this week was finding all the different organizations that donate worthy causes to better the environment and help to add value to it. By researching such companies, I was able to learn the values and goals of companies that are trying to go green like Gensler & Trendway and others that are taking a step back from sustainability like SunChips.
By realizing how much of a consumer based society we have become in the past few decades, and how most of the products I have purchased in the previous months that were not sustainable, I have started to approach shopping differently in that I have started to do research about the places I frequently shop and the practices they are or are not taking to go green.
Knowing about the different organizations that list all the companies that support sustainability either by producing green products themselves or supporting green initiatives, makes it easier to support the green-movement.
