• this school tries to unite business administration with sustainability trying to join them together.
• very nice to live in Switzerland 
• offers bachelor and master at business administration in sustainability management

• you can measure your ecological footprint 
• by 2050 if we make no change in our way of living well need twice the earths surface to absorb our waste and CO2
• pushing industry to strife for more ecological ways and alerting the consumers to be cautious when buying goods.

• we are causing global warming, the hottest 10 years in the world have occurred in the past 14 years.
• moral issue not a political issue 
• global warming causing larger storms
• if the Artic melts the sea level; world wide would rise 20 feet.
• if 100,000 refuges have a big impact how much would 100,000,000

• difficulties can turn into potential opportunities.
• pioneering spirit: think and act out of the box..

• the plane due to its lack of fuel can theoretically fly for ever.
• all technologies in the plane can be used on everything it can reduce our energy consuption in half.

A way I would apply sustainable consumption in my city would be more sustainable means of transportation.  Well Bogota the city in which I live has been greatly polluted by toxic gases and smoke that the cars produce as they burn fuel. We have applied measures to minimize the number of cars per day bit it is still bot enough. I would go as far as making people ride bikes instead of cars to see the sustainable consumption of fuel increase. Or would do anything to acquire the technology that solar impulse has developed.

Bogota is also well known for producing lots amounts of trash and/or waste. I would find a more sustainable way to get rid of the trash than burning it and harming the environment by gases produced by the burnt trash and so try to minimize the effects of global warming which are becoming very noticeable these days. Sustainability is the future of this planet and we need to develop more technology based on this concept and don't focus as much as we do in development of products like laptops and cellphones. We need to find an Eco-friendly way tom produce these products.
