The past few weeks have been eye opening for me. I new the basics for sustainability but this course has taught me in depth ideas and rules that a company must follow in order to be successful. The most important thing I learned this week was how many countries are beginning to acknowledge the change from the industrial revolution to sustainable practices today. It gave me hope to learn that huge corporations and important government officials were meeting and discussing there ideas on how to transform businesses into eco-friendly producers. All of this learning was useful to me because I hope to become apart of a design or merchandising team that possess all of these sustainable ideals. Having trustworthy and quality products being created for consumers; who know they are buying a product that does not harm the environment or other people is what all companies should strive for. I've always wanted to make a difference in the world and I believe that sustainable practice is the new frontier for innovation. These three weeks have educated me in my purchases and future job searches. I've become conscious of local businesses and sustainable merchandise through my research and will continue to educate myself in eco-friendly suppliers and designers. I will always want to learn about the different methods of providing sustainable and cost-efficient products to consumers. As well as ways that companies can publicize there certifications for being an environmentally sustainable corporation. The forums and meeting I discussed in my most recent blog have caught my attention. I am curious to see how America and the world is going to work cooperatively with one another in order to provide fair trade, quality products, cost efficiency, and sustainable merchandise to consumers. Hopefully with time fair trade and eco-friendly practices will become the norm for all businesses.
