Waste Not Blog

An article, called Waste Not, which from the book Natural Capitalism, talks about how much natural resources people are using unnecessarily, such as Lithium for soft drink cans. It also talks about how many high educated people do underemployed jobs, such as doctor drives taxi, and how much money people are spending, such as car accidents charge health care costs, people can not go to their jobs, property damage, and judicial service costs. Human civilization is growing with a wasting system. "People are using too many resources to make too few people more productive", a quote from the book Natural Capitalism implies how people are wasting resources. These will not only damage the environment, but also decline the global economics effect.
I think there are lots of ways to connect the concepts of this article to my senior project- building a green business model. For example, I will trace back to all the products that I am going to sell, in order to make sure that there are no extra resources wasted during manufacture. I also have to be aware of not using any of the cheap labors. I will have to confirm that everything is made in Taiwan, because Taiwan's Labor Bureau has a better policy to avoid labors get low-paid. In the end, we will please people who have their own unique strength to do what they can do, such as Jim is good at making statistic, so we will ask him to help us account the money, and Eugene is good at drawing, so we will ask him to help us design some shirts. Everyone has their own special talents, so we can help them to let other people hear their voice. We are going to use the least nature resources to make the best and most efficient green business model!
