How to Make a Business More Sustainable

Making a profit whilst making a positive impact.

Here’s a post to celebrate Earth Day 2019 — a day when citizens of Earth have, apparently, around 12 years before causing catastrophic climate change that can’t be recovered from in any relevant human timeframe. Yep, lots to look forward to here.

And what’s causing this climactic imbalance? Well, to a great degree it’s the activities that corporations and the groups of people who act for them do to create a buck: deforestation, pollution, nonrenewable fuels, broad scale agriculture —i.e. the sort of business as usual activities that civilisations around the world have relied upon for hundreds if not thousands of years. It’s time for humanity to change, so our climate doesn’t have to.

In his 2019 Earth Day live feed, Dain Heer from Access Consciousness asks:

How can we get the same result, or maybe a greater result, whilst also creating a sustainable living Earth?

I believe that business can create the same result for people — technological progress, prosperity and abundance — whilst also creating a sustainable living Earth, and so this article goes through the process how to do it.
