The Concept of Sustainability 38-56
In this part of COS, the chapter discusses how business can become more sustainable and give the term, “eco-efficiency”. How many companies are beginning to become more conscious of the way they operate. To be honest, it was not until my best friend started his own sustainable business that I began to take an interest in sustainability. It wasn’t like I wasn’t aware of the issues are faced in our earth but until I was put into a sustainable community that I began to get an understanding of what is happening. Miguel created the Boomi Group to of course promote his sustainable products but to also create a community in Shanghai that could actively engage in discussions on how to live more sustainable lives and ultimately live in a more sustainable city.
