I just got done reading some chapters of another book for one of my other classes and I'm really astounded but not surprised by what I did read. I read alot of some of the practices of farms and more importantly large-scale farming that is owned by huge corporations. There is alot of discussing about how these conditions are so unhealthy for humans and yet nothing is being done to stop these practices, I'm mostly talking about the CAFO's. Lots and lots of animals that are confined in small areas, some are inside and some are outside, but they eat, sleep and poop all in the same area. Anyway, this is not helping anything, our soils and waters are suffering from all this. Not a great way to get food on the table. I dont know that this falls in the realm of a sustainable business or not but as far as it being all that great for the environment, well its not.

I just hope for the sake of the people that are working in these places that something can be done.

Hello Everyone,
So I did my carbon footprint and WOW!!!! To live like me is to use like 4.6 planets or whatever. Thats alot and i think the reason for that is that I drive everywhere, I mean, everywhere!!! So I am definitely working towards trying to make that a little better, for one, I could be moving very soon, closer to my work, which I work on the Northwest side of the city, up by Gallardia...so I drive all over creation.

This class is really good so far, not really what I thought it was going to be, its more easy going, which I love but everything is going great.

As far as a sustainable business goes, my own personal work has that potential. I know that my boss wants to get me a company car the is eco-friendly. right now if I have errands to run then I drive a 4x4 Tahoe. He has even mentioned that he wants to get a better for the enviroment car, so thats a business. I think the good that it will do is that people will take notice that we are trying to better residents of the world and maybe that will promote business, i dont know. The benefits would be that possibly more business drummed up and it would save him money in gas. Ok well Im gonna sign off now, so untill next week.
Bye

Whew..this week has been crazy, I've had birthday parties to prepare for and birthday parties to attend and there are even more this weekend, plus its Valentines Day on Saturday.
