EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is one of my comments for a LinkedIn post that the Journal of Responsible Production and Consumption tagged me.

In May, I wrote an article titled, “The real risks of missing ESG goals: buycott versus boycott” – https://bit.ly/3C1GbRl

The reason for sharing this post is to remind everyone that achieving the above goals ultimately comes down to the decisions you and I make in our daily lives.

For example, let’s look at food waste. I am starting to actively use an environmental service called Too Good To Go – tagging the company’s execs for their comment on how it works and their unique reporting capabilities: Jamie CrummieRikke Nygaard NissenChristian BuhagiarSteven Wilson FCILT

Other programs worth noting include Flashfood, FoodHero, and Delivery HeroJosh Domingues, Raj Sharma, Bram Warshafsky, Mariam Awara, Andrew Grilo, Nicholas Bertram, Alan Yasalonis, Curt Topper, JEAN QUAEDVLIEG 🛒, Kris Ryken – here is a post by Kris on “partnering with grocers to make sure food gets to families instead of ending up in landfills” – https://bit.ly/3S7aUW6

To borrow a phrase from a famous inaugural speech – “ask not what sustainability can do for you; ask what you can do for sustainability.”

So, what are you prepared to do?
