The basic definition of sustainability is very easy- it’s using materials in a responsible way so that we don’t run out of them. Any other definition is just a company slightly modifying its behavior and making no real change, but generating good press.

Amidst this confusion, there are so many common misconceptions surrounding sustainability. Check out our new myth-busting video “What’s Your Big Green Lie?!” which gives a taste of the widespread ignorance of green issues at http://www.biggreenlies.com. Thanks!

I think a lot of people today want to say they are running a buisness in a sustainable way to become part of the trend instead of doing something good for the earth. Many of these people may not know the true defintion of sustainability and therefore can’t define how they using resources sustainably. It’s said when you realize how many people just care about themselves and making as much money as possible for themselves. They never stop to think about how what they do today effects all of their descendents in the future.

If there’s a company that needs to understand the meaning of sustainability, it’s Chevron. Chevron is acting like it has done nothing wrong in the rainforest of Ecuador, where Texaco (Chevron bought Texaco in 2001) dumped over 18 billion gallons of oil and toxic water into the streams. Today the drinking water is contaminated and over 1,000 people have died from cancer and thousands more are sick with skin disease and respiratory illness.
