Re: Moving Sustainability best practice to the next level of development

FabianPattberg — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:39:06 -0000

Hi Gareth. Indeed. I feel that we are starting to have few leading organisations these days that are trendsetters for these organisations that want to be seen as sustainable unfortunately. But the Sustainability movement was always meant to be a broad move towards a better business practice not just for a very small group. I think this is a worrying tendency.

Hi Jens. As far as I know has the UK government not appointed anyone new unfortuntaely.
I would not say that the UK is stepping back on CSR, it is just not such as fashionable and such a hot topic anymore. CSR is a lot more mainstream now. What do you think?

Re: How do you encourage our children to be more sustainable people?

Thank you for the comment and best wishes Florian. Yes I believe this is what we are going to try to be. Flexible in terms of point of view but guiding parents. This is more easily said then done of course! But we will give it our best.

Excited indeed! Thank you for your comment. I totally agree with you about the actions. Being a good example is what will be our biggest aim. :)
Have a good Sunday Gareth.

Hi Adi. The person buying the domain from me had other plans this time.

Re: Taking an indefinate timeout – No more blogging in the meantime

FabianPattberg — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 05:36:21 -0000

Thank you Johan. I will be back blogging at some point. Just not over the next months as it looks. I have a house to build, a business to expand and more exciting news I can not write about at this point in time. :)

I totally understand that. Thanks for considering to link to my site. I am sure I will have more time in a few months. But I have other priorities at the moment and I do not want to blog low quality posts. That is why I have made this decision. I also did not want to leave the blog empty but post this announcement.

Hi Christine. I have no information that these processes are connected. That is a very good. I will investigate.

Re: What are the Sustainability highlights of NYC?

FabianPattberg — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 04:58:51 -0000

Thank you for the comment Christine. We will definitely go and visit the Museum of Natural History. That is one of my must-do during next week.
I will also have a closer look at the sustainability aspects on NYC while I am there. And I will share these experiences afterwards for sure. :)

Re: A must see: 40 Of The Most Powerful Photographs Ever Taken

FabianPattberg — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:01:26 -0000

Excellent choice as well. I have been looking at these photographs each day for nearly a week now and still find some aspects I did not see before.

Re: How to find a good topic to write about

FabianPattberg — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 05:04:00 -0000

I like the Facebook idea but for some reason never really found much there. Facebook for me is more of a private social network really. But that is just me of course. I will have to take a closer look at the YouTube tip. Thanks.

Re: If companies would be football teams who would win the CSR / Sustainability Euro 2012 Final?

FabianPattberg — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:31:42 -0000

Indeed. Very true. It will be very interesting to see how they address this challenge.

Re: My current tools for sharing Twitter information

FabianPattberg — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 01:00:11 -0000

Thank you for the comment Hendrik. I am not a Pinboard user but will have a look soon.
On the Twitter method for following. I usually follow only a few people but have a more structured approach using Twitter lists. These are the lists I have at the moment. https://twitter.com/#!/Fabi... By categorizing people into lists I feel I have more control not to miss anything really useful rather then following everyone. What is your experience?

Indeed. Well said Cathie.

Thanks for the link. Interesting but also a sad story.

Re: Why I am closing down TheEnvironmentSite.org & key learnings

FabianPattberg — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:26:10 -0000

I agree. I got quite annoyed of this constant confrontational way of arguing.
I love food blogs. Good luck with it and I will have a read whenever I can.

Of course! :)

Re: Some companies still do not get CSR / Sustainability

FabianPattberg — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:25:53 -0000

Well said David. Any good tips how to encourage individuals in organisations to bring the CSR to the forefront?

Thank you for your kind words Adi. Yes the domain is still registered and at this point there are no plans to develop it. But when there is time and money I can spend in the future this is definitely an option!

FabianPattberg — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:11:04 -0000

Thank you Peter for your wise words and good wishes. This has been a very tough decision for me. But in the end I needed to decide where I can make the biggest impact. And it is this blog. :-)

Re: Greece will decide on our future today

FabianPattberg — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:59:31 -0000

I think the situation of the big banks is only a part of the situation to be honest. There are so many different aspects to consider in the Greek context. Having had a look a the results one can only hope that a government can be formed and Greece can finally settle down to rebuild their economy.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your disability Parcheesi. In the end I had no choice to decide on the exact timing as my hosting contract has run out. I asked them to keep the site live as long as posible. The initial response was that this was possible until the 17th. Sorry for the inconvenience.
As far as I can remember was the forum started sometime in 2003.
Thank you for your kind words and I wish you all the best for your future.
