Can you respond to this with an open-ended or a challenging question at the end?  After watching the TED video, he talked about a lot of concerns about what the company's are doing now and what they still need to do for the future to make it more green rather then adding to the pollution. "Invest in the future because that is where we will be living for the rest of our lives." I liked how the last part of the video Chris stated this and I think it's a great summary of the whole video on investing into more greener techniques for a better future. He mentioned in the video we use to invest in a power tools business and now its a water company called Pentair. He mentions that company's are trying to go more environmentally friendly for making money but in a competitive way. This will allow them to stand out and have an advantage compared to their competitors. I compared the sustainability reports of fashion giants H&M and Inditex. The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations were used by both but to make their efforts for a circle stand out, they each added their own unique ideas. They need to try to stay different from each other, even though somethings are almost identical. The Sustainable Development Goals are being used in more and more fields. This is a common trend, since anyone can join. It shows that businesses are working together for a shared goal, which is to invest in the future, that Chris states in the video. He was a great speaker and and I learned a lot from the video. Can't wait to hear what the rest of the class thinks of the video!
