    This article talks about lights. We have all been told to turn our lights off, but are we really saving more energy? According to this article we are not.

    There are misconceptions about csots and benefits. Research that had been done shoes that a lot of companies, large and small, have been reluctant to pursue environmental sustainability. One myth is that there is no profit from sustainability initiatives. And companies that have taken the initiative are profiting from it.

    Good information on the misconceptions that many business companies think they know about. This is a great choice and only if more business companies knew about it.

    This article talks about the myth of having your appliances plugged in and still sucking up your energy, especially older appliances. So it turns out that even though your appliance is turned off, it's still wasting energy because it's plugged in.

    Here is another example of the 10th myth of sustainability. In this article it explains how a companies goal of selling sustainable pesticides went wrong, and that It actually does more harm then good.

    What did you google while looking for your articles? I eventually found some but I had to type more than just "Sustainability." This is an intriguing piece of writing, by the way. Good job finding it Jacob!

    @ Kelsey Martell, I used one of the yippy and dogpile websites. They take some time to fish through because they too still bring up a lot of redundant information.

    What a great article that goes along with the 10th myth of sustainability. This gives a good example of how more harm is done when companies selling pesticides then good. This was a very interesting article to read through. Great job finding this article Jacob.

    In this website a article is written by Grace Interlichia, the article explains that people often mistake sustainability for giving up living pleasures such as desired foods, homes and cars. But in reality its not giving up what people loath but instead creating a better way to live by fuel friendly cars and sustainable farming.

    This article gives readers insight to our aim of living style sustainably. For example transportation, and farming. There are also other recommended articles to read relating to this topic.

    This article talks about global warming in Arizona and that do to heat heat rising in Arizona it is in a way lower property value. This article reminds me of the myth sustainability is about the environment.
  • Donnie Druin on 22 Mar 14
     
    Global warming, depending on who you talk to, is a myth or a fact. People love the fact that they can own some property in a southwestern state such as Arizona, and flock here during the cold winter months. With that being said, the heat is something that drives away potential buyers every year.

    I thought that this article was very interesting because it relates to the 10 myths as well. The article is about when bigger countries, such as the U.S. and Europe who decided to move to sustainable growing techniques. The one thing wrong wtih sustainable growing is that we have less to export to poorer countries in need of low cost mass produced foods.
