Week 3

Corporate Social Responsibility- the idea that businesses should be held accountable for any of its actions that affect people, their communities, and their environment

Contributing to the community and environment- "What is good for business must also be good for the environment and people worldwide" Rittenhouse

The following article states how Obama, being the first black president of the United States, is proving how green may be an equally important color. In his inaugural address, he stated how the ways America is currently using energy is damaging our environment. With Obama as our leader, we as a country, should all contribute in "making the US a leader on climate change".

  1. I think that what is good for business must also be good for the environment and people worldwide is very true. Whats the point of building new businesses , new jobs, if the end result is ultimately hurting us as people and continuing to destroy our environment? Its bad enough that we are in a recession the least we can do is take care of "mother earth." We can help teach the importance of preserving earth to the next generation and generations to come Therefore, creating a positive chain reaction, opposed to a negative one.

  2. It's nice to hear about being "green" as a focus in this new presidential era.. pulling it through and having change. A spoken voice and all who listen and follow. Change is scary but necessary.
