Business as Agent of World Benefit
|
The Business as Agent of World Benefit initiative has been mentioned in previous issues of Starlink.
The Center for B·A·W·B is a global forum uniting the best in business with the call of our times.
At the heart of the Center is the World Inquiry - global search for the many ways dynamic leaders in the business sector are putting their people, imagination and assets to work to benefit the earth, from its ecosystem to the needs of its vast, diverse population.
We are highlighting B·A·W·B again in this issue, following the recent B·A·W·B Global Forum, held in Ohio, USA in October.
Parallel to a face-to-face conference in Ohio, an online conference provided a wonderful space for many more people to be connected with the forum.
The Center for Business as Agent of World Benefit website is well worth browsing and bookmarking!
In this issue of Starlink Extra we have included some links to sections of the site and to a handful of the innovative projects and practices found there.

Kids' Thoughts on the Sea ...
|
Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves to chargers. (Christopher, aged 7)
I think sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, aged 6)
This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, aged 6)
If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don't have sea all around you, you are in continent. (Wayne, aged 7)
When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William, aged 7)

The Last Word
|
What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things. (Mother Theresa)
