Serious Games Initiatives uses digital video games to teach and educate people on pressing issues in social change, education, health-care, national defense, homeland security, analytics, corporate management and more.
There are several free online games available and here are some of the most recent games you can play:
Planet Green Game (by Global Green USA & Starbucks) allows you to "explore the town of Evergreen looking for ways to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the impact of global warming."
Consumer Consequences (by American Public Media) allows you to "find out if you are living a sustainable life" and to determine "what would the world look like if everyone consumed like me?"
Global Warming Interactive (by Lexicon Systems) "explores the relationship of global warming to economic, political and science policy decisions."

Sustainable & Responsible Business of the Week - The Body Shop
In honor of Dame Anita Roddick, I would like to highlight her visionary business, The Body Shop. The Body Shop supports human rights, is against animal testing, supports community trade, and supports the use of renewable and sustainable products. The Body Shop was one of the pioneers in responsible and sustainable business practices.

Sustainable & Responsible Business of the Week - HtoO
HtoO (Hope to Others) is a bottled water company in California founded by Tom Shadyac, a successful Hollywood director. The water source is a spring in the Sierra-Nevada mountains. So what's the big deal? HtoO gives 100% of its profits to charity. Yes, one hundred percent!
