California is a leader in green chemistry and moving toward a cradle-to-cradle economy. Two new laws were passed to address chemicals of concern and increase toxicity information. Green chemistry takes a new, benign-by-design approach to make products and processes safe from the start. This represents an opportunity to shape global chemical debates and grow California's economy. Challenges include a lack of toxicity information, inadequate regulations, and childhood exposure to toxics in products. The document recommends expanding pollution prevention, developing a green chemistry workforce, creating online product and toxics networks, accelerating safer product development, and moving toward a full cradle-to-cradle framework.

1) The integration of social media and sustainability is creating new business opportunities and supercharging business performance in sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, and operational efficiency.
2) Investment in sustainable social media is expected to increase substantially in 2011, with over 80% of companies increasing their investment and over a quarter expecting at least a 25% rise.
3) Trends include the increased use of videos and social media platforms like YouTube and Twitter for sustainability communications, as well as more interactive features on CSR websites like comments, questions, and ideas.
Johnson & Johnson has developed a process called EARTHWARDSTM to evaluate and designate products as more sustainable. The process uses a proprietary scorecard to assess products across seven environmental and social impact categories. For a product to earn the EARTHWARDSTM designation, teams must use the scorecard to undergo a four-step evaluation process that includes satisfying prerequisites, undergoing a life cycle screening, identifying improvements, and submitting results for review by an internal and external expert panel. Several Johnson & Johnson consumer products and medical devices have already earned the EARTHWARDSTM designation by showing more than a 10% improvement in at least three goal areas through redesign and reformulation efforts.

New Strategies for Impact Investing across All Asset Classes GarvinSustainable Brands
New strategies were discussed for impact investing across all asset classes. Panelists discussed moving beyond the traditional economic growth model that ignores resource costs and constraints. They also addressed how traditional portfolio construction reflects the legacy economy and causes systemic risks, while the next economy requires an eco-efficient frontier that considers environmental and social impacts. The discussion focused on transitioning to more sustainable investing approaches for a future global economy.
This document summarizes the key findings of a survey of 1,001 low-income consumers regarding their awareness, perceptions and attitudes about smart grids and smart meters. Some of the main findings include: 1) Low-income consumers have less awareness and more unfavorable views of smart grids/meters than the general population. 2) They prefer to get news from TV and in their preferred language. 3) They value the reliability and outage prevention benefits of smart grids similarly to other consumers. 4) They are as interested as others in dynamic pricing programs but less in "pay as you go" programs. 5) They believe in energy efficiency but have less knowledge of actions to implement it.
O documento discute conceitos básicos de educação a distância (EAD), incluindo sua definição, como surgiu no mundo e no Brasil, características de alunos e professores em EAD, e-learning, uso de EAD em empresas e vantagens e desvantagens para empresas.
O documento descreve o que é educação a distância, seu histórico, presença no Brasil e no mundo, características dos alunos e professores nesse modelo de ensino e as diferenças em relação ao ensino presencial.
Ron Shaich discusses the creation of Panera Cares cafes, which are community cafes operated by the Panera Bread company that serve anyone in need. The cafes offer the full Panera menu to customers on a donation-only basis. The goal is to provide a dignified experience for all customers while also generating donations to be self-sustaining. The first Panera Cares cafe opened in 2010 and has been successful, with three currently open and plans to expand further. The cafes aim to make a meaningful difference in communities while also demonstrating humanity's capacity for good.
O documento descreve um programa do governo federal chamado "Mais Educação" que tem como objetivo garantir e qualificar a aprendizagem dos alunos no contra-turno escolar por meio de oficinas pedagógicas, atividades sócioeducativas e estratégias de ensino nos campos de apoio pedagógico, cultura e artes, esporte e lazer e inclusão digital. O programa será implementado em uma escola com 10 turmas, 150 alunos matriculados e critérios de seleção focados em defasagem série
O documento discute arquiteturas pedagógicas para educação a distância, definindo-as como estruturas de aprendizagem baseadas na confluência de diferentes perspectivas como abordagens pedagógicas, tecnologia, educação a distância e concepções de tempo e espaço. Propõe uma "pedagogia da incerteza" que educa para a busca de soluções de problemas reais, transformação de informações em conhecimento e autonomia. Arquiteturas pedagógicas pressupõem currículos abertos e flexíveis
