Sony’s Goalsetting and the Value of Zero

Though corporate green efforts have grown exponentially in the last decade, most initiatives fall woefully short of what’s necessary to meet the enormous sustainability challenges we face — from climate change to water shortages to poverty and social equity. That’s why it’s so refreshing to see one large company, Sony, set a goal of zero environmental footprint by 2050.

If Your Company Went Out of Business, Would Anybody Notice?

One of the truly jarring dimensions of the Great Recession is the death sentence it has imposed on of hundreds of brands, even whole companies, that were once familiar parts of the business landscape — not just bankruptcies, but liquidations and flat-out disappearances.

One of the characters in this novel asks Mike, the narrator: “What would freedom look like?” The following is from page 2: In the sitting room there’s a photo of Miranda, which I took on a cold weekend walk at the Norfolk coast. She’s standing with her back to the camera, looking out to sea. The light is coming straight at the lens, and she’s little more than a silhouette: big boots, narrow shoulders wrapped in an ethnic something-or-other, hair streaming in the wind.

Listening to my country

I switched over to the AM band and picked up the Red Sox game just as I was passing Fenway on the Pike on my way home from Boston. I listened to the play-by-play for a while, hearing about Victor Martinez’s long out to center field and J.D Drew’s double to put the Sox ahead. When the inning ended, I hit the search button on the radio, revisiting a world from long ago
