Business schools are responding. According to the 2005 Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey of business schools, the number of core courses with nonprofit-related content has more than doubled, from 10 to 21, at the 49 schools that have participated since 2003. The number of electives with a social or environmental focus-- including courses that explore entrepreneurial solutions to social problems--has almost tripled among the 24 schools that have participated in every survey since 2001, from 137 to 468. Net Impact, a global network of M.B.A. students, graduates and professionals trying to find business-based solutions to change the world...
Forest Ethics' carrot-and-stick approach has proved effective. From 1999 to 2002, the organization pushed Staples and Office Depot to stop buying paper derived from endangered forests and ensure that 30% of the paper they sell has recycled content. Thanks to pressure from Forest Ethics, Victoria's Secret prints its clearance catalogs on paper that has more than 80% recycled content. To Paglia, however, that is only a starting point.

...serious about the movie being a gem. It’s short, punchy, and admirably low on gross-out content. Most of the wordplay is clever, the timing is professional, and it never tries to be something it isn’t. Oh, I don’t know, see it for yourself. But bring booze when you do! I’d recommend a bottle of the finest Scotch whisky you can find, in honor of Norm Macdonald’s gloriously unnecessary Scottish supporting character...
