There must be a transformation of consciousness in order to truly "embed" sustainability in our companies and our society.
How can this transformation take place?
What are the mechanics of implementing change?
How have businesses and communities facilitated transformation?
What are the results of such a transformation?
Join us in the new Schwartz-Guich Sustainable Living Center for a discussion of these and other questions as we explore the role of consciousness in creating sustainable business and a sustainable world.
