This week in the news:
It is all too comfortable to think of "slavery
" as a thing of the past. Well here's a news flash - Modern Human Trafficking and Slavery.The President of Brazil is calling for better social responsibility in lawmaking.
Corporations seem to be focusing on social responsibility as a means to make more money instead of as a means to help society.
An example of this -
Toshiba offers carbon neutrality with every laptop. It's a sneaky idea in my opinion - instead of making laptops that have a smaller carbon footprint, you can have Toshiba plant a tree on your behalf for a small fee.
