Swiss School

• While watching the video Sustainability management school I learned : The school is an innovative, unique experience and its the first of its kind in Europe. It is located in Switzerland in a town called Gland. Students can learn how to bring sustainability to life. After they can go into marketing, or finance, or other areas. It is the only business school in Europe that offers the bachelor and  the masters degree in business administration and sustainability. Students understand/ learn how to manage their products and how sustainability works in their life.

While watching the video Sustainable consumption & production: a greener world I learned: 

• the planet's condition is deteriorating 
• transportation, food and drinks are 80% of environmental impacts.
• This can be measured my using the ecological foot print calculation. 
• If we keep the way we are by 2050 we will need we will need twice the things we produce
• If industry allows the people to consume organically we shouldn't waste that opportunity.  

An incontinent Truth: 

• If you look at the past hottest years they have all occurred in the last 14 years
• The hottest of all was 2005
• We are causing global warming
• With in a decade there will be no snow left in Kilimanjaro. 
• It is not a political issue is more a moral issue. 
• Temperature increased can cause stronger storms

Dear Mrs. Alexandra Cadenas, 

    

        today I started to look at the history of Starbucks coffee. I learned that their first store was 

opened in 1971 and since then they have opened 18,000 stores in more than 60 countries. 

They also are trying to be innovators and  contribute to society and environment. 

The company is always trying to make its community bigger and they try to make a difference 

in people's lives. They say that their success comes from the farmers and suppliers that produce

what they consume to create their products. 

" Helping these people thrive helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the premium products we provide. " That is what they say about their goods. 

This is all I have learned from today and I hope to learn more

sincerely 

Maria M Gomez
