Came across some interesting articles and posts tonight while catching up my readings and just in time for Blog Action Day…

According to recent Business Week article, Stanford tops the sustainability rankings for graduate schools.

Last year, students worked to make the business-school cafeteria a nearly entirely sustainable operation with biodegradable forks and an extensive composting system. Their schedules are filled with classes such as Environmental Entrepreneurship and Frontiers of Social Innovation, while winter and spring break service trips to countries including Guatemala and Thailand have become so popular they are routinely overbooked.

It’s great to see top schools across the country incorporating social change curriculum’s. Especially since a lot of students are asking for it.

While on Faris’s site, I came across this article about Innocent. I miss those smoothies! When are they going to get to the US?

Buy One, Get One Tree is a lovely initiative where they plant a tree for every specially marked pack purchased and there’s a virtual forest where you can see your tree and a treeometer to see how many have been planted.

I’m thinking of getting a hybrid car. What do you guys think of the Toyota Prius>

Lastly, alldaybuffet will be hosting Cause for Drinks next Wednesday, October 24 from 7-9pm in major cities across the country. Check out the facebook event for more details.
