    The McDonalds corpooration is moving to produce more sustainable beef, but didnt give an actual defintion at first. They worked with a Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) to come up with a definition which is "stable, safe employment for at least the minimum wage where applicable" and institute "where applicable, third-party validation of practices by all members of the value chain."

    Its was interesting to read this article especially after reading the in class article that we read. It is nice to see a different said of the story and see that McDonald's is trying to help sustainability.

  • Sustainable developments are those which fulfill present and future needs (WECD, 1987) while [only] using and not harming renewable resources and unique human-environmental systems of a site: [air], water, land, energy, and human ecology and/or those of other [off-site] sustainable systems (Rosenbaum 1993 and Vieria 1993).

    To be sustainabile one must meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet needs. Sustainable means using methods, systems, and materials to harm natural cycles. Sustainabilty is very important.

    Yes this is a site intended for the younger aged kids, but i liked it because it broke things down and explained where i was able to easily understand it, just straight to the point with explanations and definitions. Has silly games to help us better understand, and helpful links with great information.

    Its amazing to think that coal is is responsible for 80% of Chinas energy source. This results in China paying 2 billion a year.

    China definitely needs to take another look at how they control some parts of the country. I agree with Ivan, it's costing the country so much unnecessary financial farm it's crazy. Great read.

    I can't believe it is costing so much for them to use the coal. I wonder if this is why the cities always look so polluted and foggy? Very interesting article!

    Cameron i agree i liked how This website gives you knowledge on a wide spectrum i enjoyed quite a few of the tabs i agreed with and thought that we should make so many of these things laws which can be punishable if they are ignored. The only way it seems to get people to do what's right is to give them no other choice.
