Flaws in the meat production system

Filed under: Posts and Blogs — Angel Rodriguez-Hernandez @ 7:29 pm

A couple of years ago I came across the Brazilian documentary ‘A carne e fraca’ (‘the flesh is weak’). It presents the problems associated with the meat production system. How can we satisfy the alimentary needs of the world’s population with a sustainable model? It is extremely difficult. The only solution is more education to achieve less consumption. I highly recommend you to check it out. It is a bit long, but I ensure you it’s worth seeing. Here is the first of six parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY0LybDEEGA . You can find the rest of it in YouTube.

Inline with that issue, there is another documentary about sushi production and how it relates to the scarcity of tuna in the seas because of the undiscriminated fishing techniques. I have only been able to find the Spanish version of it (http://www.documaniatv.com/social/documentos-tv-sushi-global-video_d7f984e1a.html). Let me know if you find the English version and I’ll modify this entry.

Doing well and doing good the Honda way!

To build synergy between different industries to reduce waste, when Honda Japan ships parts to US for assembly, Honda USA uses the empty cargo crates to ship back soybean that they produce outside the manufacturing facility. http://corporate.honda.com/innovation/soybeans.aspx)

Small Business Guide to Going Green and Cutting Costs

Filed under: Posts and Blogs — Rose George @ 11:45 pm

I am not really sure if this applies, but I thought this guide (http://nyti.ms/fNo0a5) on how to move toward sustainability and cut costs as a small business was interesting.
