The Ontology of Unreasonable Business. Our Thinking - Smart CSOs. The analysis Civil society organisations have a crucial role to play in catalysing transformative social and economic change, yet new ideas and strategies are needed to address the challenges we face.
Our current focus on single issues and short-term goals means that while we may win many battles, we are losing the planet. CSOs need to reconsider their strategies in support of a transition to a sustainable world and should work towards a more holistic and systemic transition to a sustainable society instead of pursuing the narrow technical policy focus of many of today's strategies. Much more radical transformative change strategies, drawing on cutting edge thinking and practice in multiple disciplines and across disciplines, are required, if CSOs are to really play their role in helping humanity to successfully meet our challenges. The vision of the Great Transition The current global economic growth paradigm will have to be replaced by a societal well being paradigm.

Beyond Green Living helps people to live more sustainable lifestyles Beyond Green. Our Story. A collaboration between four close friends, Warby Parker was conceived as an alternative to the overpriced and bland eyewear available today.
Prescription eyewear should not cost a fortune. The industry is controlled by a few large companies that have kept prices artificially high, reaping huge profits from consumers who have no other options.

We meticulously crafted our first collection of 27 limited run styles, plus one monocle, using the finest custom acetates and materials.
The Warby Parker aesthetic is vintage-inspired with a contemporary twist. Home - The Flexible Platform. Members Directory / Membership. Supporting Social Enterprise.
