Ohio cannot simply build its way out of congestion. We must fully embrace a multi-modal approach – with an integrated network of highway, rail, transit, aviation, and waterway. Our transportation infrastructure also contributes to job creation, so we must broaden our criteria for project selection to better understand the impacts to economic development and urban revitalization.

At this morning’s Corporate Sustainability Network meeting, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club representatives discussed sustainability efforts. Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club have embraced sustainability efforts on a large scale. With their purchasing power and opportunity to influence the behaviors of their vast employee base worldwide, many of the initiatives are having a significant impact.
Wal-Mart is testing solar panels, rubber mulch for landscaping, day-lighting systems, rainwater harvesting, and grease, food and general waste recycling, with a goal of having zero waste stores in the near future. One interesting effort includes the installation of an anaerobic digester for all food wastes that can not be utilized by an organization such as America’s Second Harvest (now known as Feeding America).

This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.

The Corporate Sustainability
feliduca Says:The Corporate Sustainability Network comprises over 100 experts in various aspects of sustainability, who are interested in contributing to the redesign of organisations around sustainability principles. The members are mainly based in Australia, but there are also some overseas members with critical links to other sustainability networks.
Members are drawn from business, government and the academic community. Their expertise covers:
the human aspects of corporate sustainability (both human resource management and social responsibility), and
the protection and restoration of the ecosphere.
By 'human sustainability' we mean building human capability and skills for sustainable, high level organisational performance, and for community and societal well-being. By 'ecological sustainability' we mean redesigning organisations to contribute to sustainable economic development, and the protection and renewal of the biosphere.

Cindy Maxey Says:Any company that does not pay most of its employees a living wage and leaves them dependent on public assistance programs like Medicaid is not sustainable, no matter how many solar panels or anaerobic digesters it installs.
