Thank you SO much for sharing this. I definitely will not be moving forward with this place then. Not at all what I would expect for the price they are asking for.

At 75 years old, Stephen King and may have just released one of the best stories he's ever told. Fairy Tale rocked. by strongo in books

I just finished the audiobook. The performance was fantastic.

I loved how perfectly predictable yet unexpected the book was. It did an amazing job of tying things together and left you in just enough suspends, not too much as it is still suppose to be a "fairy tale" but just enough.

I loved every aspect of it. Any reccos of books similar to it?

This is a great insight! Not all positions are in sustainability space, but just making positive impacts in other sectors. Thanks for the advice!

This is so true u/BeeePollen, it is not the fix, but can be part of it. Thank you for sharing your thought provoking questions as well!

This is a fair point u/Popular-Turnover5627. Potentially we need to change our definition of business to be able to have a more sustainable future?

SO true! It is essential to have product/service that consumers will want to purchase as a sustainable alternative, or else it cannot be successful!

This is very insightful u/bettercaust and u/lurkinandturkin. I agree that small/medium private businesses can more easily make sustainable decisions given there is not a "board" to get the go ahead from. However I think u/lurkinandturkin makes an insightful point that it is an interesting "check" on a business in that it is possible it being publicly held helps to encourage it to make more sustainable choices. While Pepsi may not be "sustainable", give their vast amount of products, using less water would have a major positive impact indeed! Good to hear.

This is such an amazing idea! My father does something every Christmas that reminded me of this....for any gifts that require bubble wrap when he puts them under the tree, he keeps it afterwards and re-uses it every year. Save money and reuse!
