From NewScientist: ” IT’S 2020, and we are a decade into a huge experiment in which we are trying to convert our country to a sustainable or “steady-state” economy. We have two guiding principles: we don’t use natural resources faster than they can be replenished by the planet, and we don’t deposit wastes faster than they can be absorbed. In our society, scientists set the rules. They work out what levels of consumption and emission are sustainable – and if they’re not sure they work out a cautious estimate. Then it’s up to the economists to work out how to achieve those limits, and how to encourage innovation so we extract as much as possible from every scrap of natural resource we use.
FromGreenBiz: “Environmental and agriculture groups, growers and some of the world’s biggest food buyers — Wal-Mart, Sysco and Sodexo among them — have developed a new coalition to incorporate sustainability from the field to the table for specialty crops. More than 30 companies and organizations from around the country are members of the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops, which will develop a system for optimizing the supply chain for growing, distributing and selling a number of specialty crops — in this case, a broadly defined group of crops including fruits, vegetables, nuts and horticultural crops.”
From CEVA: ” CULEMBORG, The Netherlands, CEVA, a leading global supply chain management company, was awarded the Lean & Green Award 2008 by Connekt, a Dutch forum that promotes smart and sustainable ‘mobility’ thinking among logistic service providers, shippers, NGO’s, Governmental bodies and international partners.
From infoworld.com: “From the way products are packaged to the means by which they’re shipped, waste abounds in the supply chain. That’s the case made by Paul Brody and Mondher Ben-Hamida, supply chain experts for IBM’s Global Business Services. In a recent article that warrants reading on Environmental Leader, the duo have outlined steps toward cutting supply-chain waste.

From Greenerbuildings.com: “Companies are under pressure to make their supply chains greener. There are several reasons but most revolve around regulations, quality and enhancing value for companies and their suppliers. During the last four years, the nonprofit World Environment Center has helped companies such as Alcoa, General Motors, Dow Chemical and Johnson and Johnson strengthen their extended supply chains. The results from these projects are compiled and analyzed in “Greening the Supply Chain in Emerging Markets: Some Lessons from the Field.” The report is second in our new GreenBiz Reports series by thought leaders in the green business arena.” See the transcript or listen to the podcast at Greening the Supply Chain for the Greater Good
From scmr.com: “Earlier this year, congressman and author Jay Inslee spoke to a gathering of Bainbridge Graduate Institute MBA students about his book – Apollo’s Fire, Igniting America’s Clean Energy Economy. Congressman Inslee offers a well-thought out hypothesis that there is a need for “a revolution that will transform our economy with new technologies, reinvest in our communities, and create millions of new ‘green collar’ jobs.” This revolution, I believe, must not only begin in clean energy but also must be started in all areas of sustainability.”
From Greenbiz.com: “”The first thing you need to understand about greening a supply chain is that the term ‘green’ is not specific enough. It has the wrong connotations. This is about saving money and becoming efficient.” That is the view of Karl Feilder, chief executive of DHL Neutral Services, a subsidiary of the delivery giant set up to improve the efficiency of both DHL’s and its customers’ supply chains.
