World Water Day... March 22... Cooperation ... Whatcha gonna do?


World Water Day is upcoming on March 22...
Most of us don't realize, or don't think about it much, the nexus of water, energy and food. It takes a lot of water to make energy; it takes a lot of water to make food... It takes even more water to make food that is higher on the food chain (beef vs. corn). It takes a lot of water to make clothes.
One day per year we all pause to contemplate water. International year of water cooperation at www.UNWater.org.
What are you gonna do to save water? (and/or energy and/or food and/or plastics and/or clothes)?

WME Honorees | World's most ethical Companies.

WME Honorees | Ethisphere™ Institute:

Check it out.

This is the list of the world's most ethical companies.

There is a huge presence of US firms. One reason would be because there simply are so many US firms. It seemed that all were publicly traded, so they already are doing a lot of reporting and now are probably doing social responsibility reporting.

But it is interesting to see.

Look at the companies in the various sectors.

The several that I thought should be one the list turned out to be there. In a couple cases in different areas than I original thought.

Now it would be interesting to cross-reference these companies with their sustainability reporting/commitment.

Very cool.
