Procrastination is a well-known and serious behavioral problem involving both practical and psychological implications. Taxpayers commonly put off submitting their annual returns until the last minute, risking mathematical errors in their frenzy to file. Lawmakers notoriously dawdle and filibuster before enacting sometimes rash and ill-advised legislation at the eleventh hour. And, students burn the midnight oil to get their term papers submitted before the impending deadline, precluding proper polishing and proofreading. For these reasons, we are cautioned not to procrastinate: Dont put off until tomorrow what you can do today. He who hesitates is lost. Procrastination is the thief of time.

Advocate staff photo by ANGELA MAJOR -- A "crawfish" skateboard shoe sits in its box along with all the accesories that come in its packaging Saturday, August 14, 2014, at Rukus Board Shop on Jones Creek Road. 'Crawfish' shoe sales boiling hot as they debut by zach carline| Special to The Advocate Aug. 18, 2014 Comments It's all there, just not where you'd ever expect to find it. The plump boiled crawfish with their bright red shells like a pair of puckered lips ready to lay on the kiss of spice, the yellow corn standing out among the red like little suns and all of it resting atop a pile of newspaper. This particular crawfish boil, though, is unlike any Louisiana has ever seen because it's an image proudly portrayed on a Nike shoe designed for skateboarders. Some collectors camped out all night waiting for the new NikeSB Dunk Low Crawfish to make its worldwide debut at the locally owned and operated Rukus Board Shop on Jones Creek Road. A store employee, Hunter Hulin, designed the shoe with the help of Nike. The 19-year-old Hulin said the project began about 1½ years ago when the store's Nike sales representative, Joey Giambalvo, offered the staff an opportunity to design a shoe with the chance to have it made by Nike and sold worldwide. Hulin went home that evening and by the next morning had a beginning design drawn up of what would, after about a year of design exchanges with Nike, become the shoe sold Saturday. What had once been a fantasy for Hulin and Rukus owner Ronnie Saurage to have their own shoe sold by Nike had turned into a reality. Saurage said people waiting to purchase a pair of the "crawfish shoes" began lining up Friday afternoon for the 10 a.m. release Saturday. The shelves also were clearing at two other Rukus locations, in Lafayette and Mandeville, where crowds also lined up early to score a pair. "This (shoe) isn't Ronnie's, or Hunter's, it's the community's," Saurage said. While the shoe itself depicts a crawfish boil with colors of bright red and yellow and the familiar Nike swoosh overlaid on the scene of a newspaper, the special packaging for the shoes only available when purchased from the Rukus stores is just as representative of Louisiana. Saurage said they worked with Louisiana Fish Fry on the packaging, borrowing that company's logo for use on the box along with the picture of a crawfish boil. Inside, the shoes are enclosed in a crawfish sack, wrapped by newspaper. Added extras in the Rukus edition include custom-made crawfish socks with the cheeky phrases "eat tails" and "suck head" on the bottoms and a crawfish-themed skate shirt. Hulin said the store expected to sell out of the 450 pairs of shoes at the Baton Rouge store, which sell for $170 with the special box and packaging, by the end of the business day. They will be available for sale online to the rest of the world Saturday, at a cost of $105, in a typical Nike box without the special packaging and extras. With all the customization and effort to represent Louisiana, it is no wonder that skateboarders and sneakerheads filled the parking lot and lined up outside the door all night to get their pair of the special shoes. Some like Chris Anderson, who by 10:30 a.m. was at the back of the line to purchase his second pair after waiting all night for the first, said it was never an option whether he would fork up the cash and time in line. Anderson's first pair of "dunks" came from Rukus and there was no doubt he was going to wait in line to purchase the crawfish dunks. While Anderson was adding to his collection, the crawfish shoes inspired others to begin their shoe collection. Rocky Smith, a self proclaimed sneakerhead, waited in line starting at 7:30 a.m. to purchase the crawfish shoes, which he said would be the beginning of his shoe collection. Giambalvo, the Nike sales representative said the idea of local shops designing a shoe to be made by Nike isn't new but is rare for the South. "This is the first time we've done anything in this part of the South," he said. When people think of skating shoe fashion, immediately people think of the West Coast followed by New York, Giambalvo said.

Surprising spring snow dusts city in white
April 12, 2011
Sure, spring started last month, but Old Man Winter returned last week.
Snowfall blanketed Issaquah and surrounding areas — especially neighborhoods in the Issaquah Highlands and on Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains — late April 6 and early April 7. Surprised residents reported about 1 inch of snow accumulation in some places.
"We're disappointed by the weather every April — and that can actually last into June, our disappointment with the weather," said Chris Burke, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Seattle.
Roads remained clear for the April 7 morning commute, although the rain-soaked ground resulting from the increased precipitation snarled Issaquah-area traffic.
Crews cleared a fallen tree from Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast near Issaquah at about 8 a.m., after the large maple clogged traffic and forced motorists to detour.
King County Sheriff's Office deputies directed traffic. Crews cleared enough of the tree to reopen the road just after 9 a.m. and then remained on the scene to continue the cleanup Read more
Interactive map tracks junked cars, trash dumped on state forestland
April 5, 2011
State asks residents to help crack down on illegal dumping
The abandoned vehicle on state land near Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast and the dumped household garbage on eastern Tiger Mountain represent — as the Department of Natural Resource's law enforcement chief describes the illegal dumping problem — "the tip of the iceberg."
The agency has unveiled a Web-based map to show locations of more than 200 illegal dumping sites on state trust lands.
The state — through the departments of natural resources and ecology, plus other agencies — spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to clean up household trash, junked vehicles, and commercial and hazardous waste dumped on state trust lands.
"This is only the tip of the iceberg," Larry Raedel, chief of law enforcement services for the Department of Natural Resources, said in a statement. "For every one of the sites we investigated, mapped and cleaned up last year, there are two or three more out there that we haven't found yet."
Illegal dumping often occurs near forest roads on the 2.1 million acres of forestland managed by the Department of Natural Resources. Hazardous sites, such as discarded industrial solvents or meth labs, can cost thousands of dollars each to clean up. Sending trucks to remote locations to remove abandoned vehicles is also expensive.
Executive offers bold plan in State of the County address
March 1, 2011
King County Executive Dow Constantine reflected on milestones from 15 months in office and outlined a bold agenda for the months ahead in the State of County address Feb. 28.
The top elected official in the county offered a plan to shore up aging infrastructure and the social safety net amid drastic budget cuts. The address to County Council representatives and community members also emphasized regional partnerships.
"The choices we make will have a lasting and profound impact. As our parents and grandparents did, we too owe it to those who come after us to be responsible, thoughtful and smart," Constantine said. "If we do our jobs right — building on the commitment to partnership and collaboration that have created the many successes of the past year — we can translate our internal reforms to external results."
The executive delivered the speech at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, in part to highlight efforts to shore up the aging Howard Hanson Dam. The dam, upstream from Kent along the Green River, required local, county and federal agencies to join together to secure funds for long-term repairs.
Eastside Fire & Rescue firefighters tackle hot jobs
February 15, 2011
From adrenaline-charged emergencies to routine calls, firefighters share gritty details
Do you know if your co-workers snore? What about their eating preferences, or whether they prefer washing dishes to cooking?
"There are very few jobs where you know people's sleep habits," Eastside Fire & Rescue firefighter Pete Wilson said.
Firefighters are a tight bunch, and they know just about as much about each other as they do the areas they serve. They are viewed through a glamorous lens, with their heroics of saving people from fires and helping car accident victims — not to mention the steamy firefighter calendars published annually.
But the daily routines of firefighters are not always quite as dramatic. Aside from giving grade-school students tours of their stations, firefighters perform daily inspections on fire engines and study to renew their medical and rescue certificates.
Firefighters are held in the high esteem of many. Some people might have a beef with the police, but their firefighter brothers and sisters are usually excluded from public retaliation.
Strong winds topple trees, force road closures
December 18, 2010
UPDATED — 9:25 a.m. Dec. 18, 2010
Strong winds downed trees and prompted road closures near Issaquah early Saturday morning.
Puget Sound Energy said the storm also knocked out power for more than 300 Issaquah customers.
The state Department of Transportation closed state Route 18 from Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast to Interstate 90 at about 1 a.m. Saturday. The section reopened just before 8 a.m.
Crews also closed a section of the eastbound interstate due to toppled trees on the roadway.
The high wind warning remains in effect until noon Saturday. National Weather Service forecasters in Seattle said residents should expect east winds of 30 to 40 mph and gusts up to 65 mph.

Issaquah on ice: Snowstorm snarls traffic, prompts school closures
November 30, 2010
The nightmare occurred long before Christmas — and before Thanksgiving.
Issaquah and the Puget Sound region slid to a halt during a fall snowstorm Nov. 22. The storm snarled commutes for Issaquah residents and prompted road crews to toil through Thanksgiving to clear streets. The poor conditions interrupted the regional transit system and left riders huddled in bus shelters. The fallout sent shoppers scrambling to stores for emergency supplies and Thanksgiving staples.
The mercury dipped into the teens and 20s — record cold temperatures — in the days after the storm and turned roads icy.
"People were very understanding of the situation," Issaquah Police Patrol Cmdr. Scott Behrbaum said. "I think a lot of people were just trying to get home Monday night."
Some motorists abandoned vehicles and turned road shoulders along Highlands Drive Northeast, Newport Way Northwest and Southeast Black Nugget Road into impromptu parking lots. Police impounded more than 30 vehicles in travel lanes as conditions deteriorated Nov. 22.
Report: Issaquah commuters spent less time in traffic last year
November 30, 2010
Issaquah commuters spent less time on the road to Bellevue and Seattle last year.
The typical morning commute between Issaquah and Seattle shrank to 21 minutes — a decline from 25 minutes in 2007. The morning commute from Seattle to Issaquah also dropped, from 20 to 18 minutes. The trip between Issaquah and Bellevue declined to 15 minutes from 17 minutes during the same period.
The state Department of Transportation said the decreases represent a broader trend. Evergreen State drivers spent less time in traffic last year.
The information is outlined in the annual congestion report produced by the Department of Transportation.
Planners attributed the change to the economic downturn and the completion of major congestion-relief highway projects. The result: fewer delays and shorter travel times on high-demand corridors. Read more

Hey Sewing Friends,
Thought I will stop by and say hello. Whew the new year has already has made a big impact on my life. It seems like when it rains it pours. If it wasn't for my faith in God, I would have unable to deal with the loss and pain. But I made it.
Things in my crafting life are also changing in a good way. I am finally redecorating my sewing room. I needed a space that inspired me. My aim was to keep the decor budget friendly soI repurposed some things. hopefully that will be done soon. If only life will slow down just a little. But I am still excited to see what the rest of 2015 brings.
Until next time .... Keep on sewing!
In My Craftroom
Diy Home and Fashion. If you can't afford it just make it.

Yikes, My Sewing Machine Broke!!!!
Hello fellow sewist,
Hoping all had a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving was blessed. I ate well and enjoyed time visiting family. My sewing mojo was even in full gear. I planned and prepared to make two version of M6992. Then I discovered that I only had enough fabric to do one, so I decided to make a cocoon sweater and found a pattern by Truebias.com. Cut that out and sewed that up first because it was going to be an easy sew. (Reviews will be coming soon). I worked on M6992 Saturday, Sunday, and with finishing touches on Monday. And that is when disaster struck. I was about 15 inches from finishing the hem when the needle holder on my Brother XL5700 fell completely off!
A close up shot
Needle holder
Sob!!!!! Luckily I have a Euro Pro Fast and Easy machine as back up. Its basic but it got the job done.
The funny thing abou tthis is while sewing the hem I was thinking how nice it would be to have a machine that could stop in needle down position and how I would like to have a computerized machine. Do you think the sewing machine read my mind? Did I hurt its feelings? Did it intentionally drop the needle, holder and all? LOL!
Well I am taking this as an opportunity to research machines for an upgrade. Do any of you have suggestions on model or type of machine to buy? What type of machine do you have? Do you like its features and would you recommend it to others?
Please Help!!!
Meanwhile, I will I will be sewing on my Euro Pro. Hopefully it will hold up. I have fabric on the table ready to be cut and sewn.
God willing!
Keep sewing and God bless…..

2006 Chevrolet Uplander Q&A
2006 Chevrolet Uplander Question: The vehicle has automatic opening side doors that are not working at all
Neither side doors are working and have to be open manually. The owners manual said something about resetting the doors. Also could this be a fuse or switch issue. Thanks. - KeDavis115
2 Answers
Answer 1
ck owners manual for fuse location to stsrt with if good scan bcm for codes and post so we can adv - globalhelper
Answer 2
Try to Relearn the Power Sliding Door (PSD). Remove the Power Sliding Door (PSD) fuses 21 and 24 in the instrument panel fuse block. Reinstall the fuses after a few minutes. Open and close the power sliding doors two times using the overhead or "B" pillar switch to relearn the position. If the door reverses or stops before completing the two cycles, repeat the procedure. - milesauto

- Receive a documented diagnosis from a medical provider licensed to provide such diagnosis
(Once every three years)
- Register with the Wellness Center, providing a copy of the diagnosis documentation.
(Before or at the start of every term)
- Wait until the Wellness Center reviews the documents; if the student is approved, the Wellness Center sends a letter to the current professors informing them of the allowable accommodations.
(Early every term)
- Inform the professors in whose classes the student intends to use accommodations.
(Early every term)
- Have the professor make arrangements with ASC for any quizzes or tests.

CHURUBUSCO — A decline in enrollment turned out to not be as grim as initially forecasted.
Smith-Green Community Schools (SGCS) adopted its 2014 budget officially Monday. A total general fund of $7,498,714 was passed 4-0.
The situation is assisted by transfer numbers, which boosted enrollment. For the district, Fleetwood projected a decline of 12 students. It ended up being just a decline of five from last year.
Superintendent Galen Mast said that approximately 100 students in the school system have transferred in from outside the district.
COLUMBIA CITY— A woman accused of violating the terms of her probation will have the matter resolved next month.
Rita Elswick,19, was sentenced to eight years, with four to serve and four on suspended sentence, for dealing in methamphetamine.
She received this sentence in September. However, Judge James Heuer placed her on suspended sentence until March 17, 2014.
There were several reasons for this decision. Elswick is expecting a child in February.
Heuer also wished for Elswick to complete her high school education at the T.R.O.Y. Center.
COLUMBIA CITY— "I was just here to serve dinner."
Jill Daniel, owner of Daniel Menu & Party Consulting, expressed her surprise at receiving the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year Award Tuesday night.
So many local merchants were nominated, that Chamber Executive Director Doug Brown said there was not time to name them all.
He cited Daniel for the hard work of her local business, and read notes of congratulations to her from her sons — Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel and Jeff Daniel.
COLUMBIA CITY — With the first frost of the season hitting the county less than a week ago, many find it hard to believe winter is just around the corner.
Tuesday evening brought the season's first snow showers, and Columbia City's Street Department is already prepared for the upcoming winter weather.
While Tuesday night's flurries didn't amount to any accumulation, this year's Farmer's Almanac is predicting a "bitterly cold" winter — "cold, wet and white."

If you would buy at $22.00,why not buy at $25.00. Please elaborate on your thought process.Thanks
Sure...look at the daily fluctuations for the last 1-2-4-6-12 months etc.Trades between 20-26 roughly.You can wait it out to buy lower.Will it go up/down? Who knows.Warm winter so far.I guess down lower e.g 22 vs up higher 28. Why buy high.I think it`s a great investment at 9%, but wouldn`t buy it now.I`ve always liked glp, but I`m not going to fall in love with it.If I had it at 21-22 and it got to 26, I`d sell it.You can always move to something else.I have plenty of candidates, but I can`t buy everything! One thing I would give advice to(even though you didn`t ask!) is invest in companies that pay you while you wait, eg divvys/distributions, and invest in oil/energy.It hurts alot less when the markets are #$%$ if you are getting paid 50 cents a share/quarter!

Discussing on Fox & Friends whether Sen. John McCain is "fit enough to be the next commander in chief," radio host Mike Papantonio said, "[W]e ought to have the right to know about what's the status of the cancer that he had -- he developed two times, malignant melanoma." Steve Doocy replied, "That is true. All right. And I believe those records have all been released." However, while McCain released his full medical records in 1999, he has yet to release his recent medical records, which his campaign reportedly says it will do "sometime in May" after reportedly having "pledged to release [his cancer] test results before the end of April."
Discussing an attack ad on Sen. Barack Obama that Sen. John McCain has denounced, Fox & Friends co-host Andrew Napolitano asserted: "John McCain, for his whole career, has tried to stay above this kind of a fray. Why should he change now?" Napolitano did not point out that this is the latest example of a pattern in which McCain denounces smears against his opponents, while also benefiting from them. Moreover, in asserting that McCain has "tried to stay above this kind of a fray," Napolitano seemingly ignored several instances in which McCain has misrepresented the statements or positions of his opponents.
On The Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer left unchallenged Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's claim that "what Senator [John] McCain talks about" when he said he advocated a long-term military presence in Iraq is "to make sure that those who have lost their lives, that their lives were not lost in vain. I mean, we still maintain troop presence in South Korea." In fact, McCain has made inconsistent statements on the subject of a troop presence in Iraq modeled on South Korea, which Blitzer did not note.
Reporting on an ad from the North Carolina Republican Party that attacks Sen. Barack Obama for his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, NBC News' Andrea Mitchell asserted that Sen. John McCain "is taking a very strong stand," telling the party "that he does not want them to run this ad." She later said that "John McCain immediately demanded that the North Carolina Republicans kill the ad." By simply reporting McCain's condemnation of the North Carolina ad, Mitchell was repeating a pattern in the media of allowing McCain, as Slate.com's Melinda Henneberger noted, to "take the high road," while his supporters engage in smears for his benefit.
On Morning Joe, after Pat Buchanan said of Sen. Hillary Clinton's speech following the Pennsylvania primary that "only once or twice did that voice start rising to the level that every husband in America at one time or another has heard. You know, where it starts going up -- " Joe Scarborough said, "Be careful here, Buchanan." Chris Matthews added, "Go the other way. You're in the danger area. ... You're in the danger area, Pat, take my advice."
The Washington Post's Dan Balz asserted that Sen. John McCain's "advocacy of comprehensive immigration reform" is among the policy positions that help "paint a portrait of someone not cut from the traditional [Republican] party mold." In fact, McCain has abandoned his previous support for comprehensive immigration legislation, saying that he "would not" support his original comprehensive immigration proposal if it came up for a vote in the Senate.
On MSNBC Live, David Shuster presented to Tucker Carlson "a Hillary laughing pen" -- a pen shaped in the likeness of Hillary Clinton's head with a mouth that moves as the pen makes a laughing noise. In response, Carlson stated: "I can't tell you, David, how much I appreciate this, how much I appreciate your going through Chris' mail while he's gone and how much I'm really going to miss that cackle. I hope it goes on forever. It's brought light to my life."
In a post on MSNBC.com's First Read blog about Sen. Barack Obama's position on former President Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas, Aswini Anburajan reported that Obama has been "attacked by [Sen. John] McCain for not condemning Carter's visit more sternly." But McCain has not merely "attacked" Obama "for not condemning Carter's visit more sternly"; he has actually misrepresented Obama's position on Carter's meeting with Hamas, falsely suggesting that Obama "approve[d]" of the meeting.
Responding to a question about whether Sen. John McCain was "maintaining the endorsement" of controversial televangelist John Hagee. NPR's Cokie Roberts asserted: "Well, he says that it was a mistake to seek and accept the endorsement. So I -- what does that mean? I don't know if that means that he has -- maintains it or not." In fact, when asked if he "no longer want[ed]" Hagee's endorsement, McCain stated: "I'm glad to have his endorsement."
On The Situation Room, an on-screen chart showed Sen. John McCain's income to be significantly lower than that of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton when combined with the income of their spouses. However, the chart did not include any income earned by McCain's wife, Cindy. As Dana Bash reported moments earlier of Cindy McCain, "Some estimates actually put her worth at about $100 million."
A New York Times article about criticism of ABC's conduct of the April 16 Democratic presidential debate reported the comments of CNN's David Bohrman and noted that Bohrman "took particular issue with the lapel-flag question" posed to Sen. Barack Obama. But CNN has itself paid considerable attention to the flag pin flap.
Several media outlets have reported that Sen. John McCain's campaign justified refusing to release Cindy McCain's tax returns by citing Sen. John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, as "precedent." But they did not report that, in contrast with Cindy McCain, Heinz Kerry did release a part of her 2003 income tax return that showed "total income," which enabled The New York Times to analyze how she benefited from the Bush tax cuts. Such an analysis of how the McCains have benefited from the tax cuts -- which Sen. McCain supports extending permanently -- is not possible, based on the information his campaign has released on Cindy McCain's income.
Fox News' Major Garrett falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama's comments about Rev. Jeremiah Wright made during the April 16 Democratic presidential debate were "in conflict with his speech on that very subject." But in purporting to contrast Obama's reference during the debate to "comments not made by me but somebody who is associated with me that I have disowned" with Obama's assertion during his March 18 speech that "I can no more disown [Wright] than I can disown the black community," Garrett left out the next two sentences said in the debate exchange during which Obama made clear that he was not claiming to have "disowned" Wright, but to have disowned "[t]he comments" Wright made.
During his April 15 interview with Sen. John McCain, Chris Matthews failed to challenge McCain on a variety of issues, including Iraq, other foreign policy issues, campaign finance, and spending projects, despite purporting to ask "tough" questions.
On Hannity & Colmes, Dick Morris asserted that Hillary Clinton had worked as a "law student defending the Black Panther Party, and then she worked in a communist law firm." Co-host Alan Colmes then asked Morris, "Well, does it make Hillary a communist?" After Morris again stated that Clinton "was a supporter of the Black Panthers," Colmes interjected, "Wait a second. Does that make her a communist?" Morris replied: "No, at that time, at that point in her life, she may well have been." But Morris previously wrote in his book Rewriting History that "Hillary was no Communist, nor should her work in the ... firm imply that she was."

On The Scene: Going green takes a team
|| Print |
|On the Scene
|Friday, October 09, 2009
In a state like Oregon, going green is not a new cause by any means. The Beaver State is a hub of alternative-vehicle interest, Portland's public transportation and bike-friendliness are world-famous, and sustainable local products are the norm. So what else could the annual GoGreen Conference have to offer to attendees? What more did they want to know about? Collaboration and community seemed to be the two hot topics.
I checked out GoGreen 09 this week to find out. The event was at the Gerding Theater in Portland's Pearl District — a small venue for the tremendous turnout the conference received. Crowds of businesspeople packed the lobby and milled around outside, representing companies such as Pacific Power, NW Natural and Providence Health & Services. And following its debut last month, Arcimoto's brand-new Pulse EV was parked proudly in front of the theater (and Portland Mayor Sam Adams even stopped by to check it out again).
Not everyone was there representing business. I chatted with a recent MBA graduate from Dominican University of California who was attending the conference simply to get a sense of the way Portland approached sustainability issues. But with panel session topics ranging from green funding options to plan writing, the conference was clearly aimed at getting businesses of all stages started in the sustainability game.
Through all the usual green talk about getting rid of gas-guzzlers and cutting down manufacturing emissions, the theme of sustainability collaboration was something that stood out throughout the day. In a panel discussion on the new sustainable business landscape, Darcy Winslow, founder of DSW Collective with 21 years of experience at Nike, used an example from Nike's past to illustrate the need for collaboration. When the activewear company decided to switch to water-based compounds in its products (because of the health risks organic compounds posed), it came across a problem: Even though Nike successfully came up with the technology to make the switch, its products were running down the same factory lines as Adidas and Reebok. The solution? Nike shared its technology with its rivals, at no cost. "Had we just implemented that on our product, we would not have solved the problem because you still have the volatile organic compounds coming from the other lines," Winslow said. "So it was our first real initiative at collaborating with our competition."
During the lunch break, I happened to sit with Dan Weldon, manager of Umpqua Bank's eco-banking division and also a speaker at the conference. I asked him if there was anything new that attendees were interested in, and he echoed the same emphasis on collaboration over competition, a message he heard consistently at the conference.
But on top of that, Weldon said there was another focus taking shape. "I think one of the primary messages we're hearing is community-building instead of looking at sustainability as strictly an energy and expense issue," Weldon said. "We get so tied into winning customers and winning accounts, and I think something we're hearing here is that our focus needs to be broader. Our focus needs to be on building an authentic story of how we're benefiting our communities and creating opportunity."
Like sustainability, the concepts of collaboration and community are nothing new to us, either; they're values that are taught beginning in grade school. But they're coming into play again in a much bigger way. How businesses work together on environmental issues and expand their focus on people and the planet will play a critical role in our future.
"If we all fell off the planet, nature would be fine," said panelist Sheri Flies of Costco Wholesale Corporation. "But if nature falls off the planet, we're doomed."
