      If more companies were generous like this, think of what we could accomplish without the restraint of money.

      This article will be a good source for finding out how mamy people are living in poverty. This article also lists some things that are wrong structurally within poverty. One of the most interesting statistics that this article claims that 27,000 children died today and this is a number that coincides with the 3 billion people that live on less than two dollars a day.

    This article basically describes poverty as a result of third world debt, free trade, corporations, consumption and consumerism, and a complex list of other facts that places almost three billion people living on less than two dollars a day.  The article goes on to state how much money is being spent to try to help solve the poverty issue.

    It is very interesting to see how GE has benefitted from the US's war on terror. 90 percent of GE's nuclear power plants could discharge radiation into the atmosphere. It is responsible for polluting 78 Superfund sites, and is pushing the government to overturn Superfund legislation. Fraud and poor safety for workers are also issues. Why don't we see this on the ecomagination commercials?

    "The Yes Men agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, and then smuggle out the stories of their hijinks to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business. In other words, the Yes Men are team players... but they play for the opposing team."

    Interesting way of doing business-incriminating evidence straight from the horse's mouth?  The evidence against Dow is pretty substantial.

    Second largest chemical manufacturer in the world, and largest producer of plastics. Responsible for 20,000 deaths in the Bhopal disaster in India, was the sole supplier of napalm to the US in  the Vietnam War, and manufactured Agent Orange. The Human Element indeed.

    This article is about how grocery stores can really be "green". Some stores "have not properly adopted organic principles and subverted the movement as it has gone mainstream."

    I'm tagging this to illustrate bias in writing.  This is mentioned by Mickelthwait and  Wooldridge (2003) with an off-handed remark on page 177, mocking those who criticize Shell's actions in Nigeria as "they did not go around overthrowing governments."

    Grameen was one of the corporate entities that we read about in class.  Instead of using its capital gains to feed the upper managements' pockets, they redristribute the funds back into the peoples' coffers.  This is a REAL, CREATIVE solution to a poverty problem.
