Harvard Business Students Keep Their Eyes On Sustainability

When it comes to the future of business, it makes sense to look towards sustainable solutions for higher profit margins.  Similarly, when identifying future leaders in business, it is natural to look to Harvard Business School for the best and the brightest.  No surprise then that students at Gallatin Hall, Photo credit Harbus.org

Harvard Business School are incorporating sustainabilty in their education, both in and out of the classroom. 

Yesterday's article by student and "Green Living Rep" Garry Thaniel in the  B-school's Student Weekly Paper, The Harbus, outlined the ways in which he and another Rep raised awareness about excessive plastic bottle use on campus.  The two students placed 200 water bottles between school buildings and set out signs along the bottles which read, "With just 10 students in every section drinking one bottle a day, we are leaving behind a trail of approximately 54,000 bottles each academic year."

Beyond public displays of art/activism and having Green Living Reps (which, hello - how cool is that?) HBS students also held an eco-fashion show earlier in April. 

Major props to the students at Harvard Business School for their creativity and innovative ways to join the green revolution.
