Green MBA Helps Local Biofuels Business Become Green Certified

Posted in Professional Work, Student Work

Green MBA Helps Local Biofuels Business Become Green Certified
Sirona Fuels Northern California's Largest Biodiesel producer located in Oakland California is now a Certified Green Business. We plan to not only conserve our resources but also educate employees and customers about resource conservation. As a Certified Green business we feel we are pioneers in our industry. Running a refinery involves many practices that have the ability to consume a overabundance of energy and resources. We have taken critical steps to not only reduce our resource consumption, but also to use our business's position to show that a refinery can be Green Certified. Our certification would not have been possible with out the team of bright and dedicated individuals from the Green MBA program at Dominican University of California. Through their auditing and reviews, we have been able to greatly reduce our environmental impact and footprint.

Re-Branding Our Species: A Leadership Challenge For All Of Us

Posted in Faculty Work

By Alexander Laszlo, Green MBA Mentor

Re-Branding Our Species: A Leadership Challenge For All Of Us
As our species finally breaches the carrying capacity of the planet we call home, we come face to face with that perennial challenge: evolve or die. But now the challenge is both global and immediate. We have explored and exhausted the brand Homo sapiens. It is time to re-brand, to evolve beyond the strategically wise, the rationally refined, the intellectually erudite and the technologically talented. Our patterns of being and becoming now need to align with the brand identity of nature and the cosmos at large – with patterns and processes that continually create conditions conducive to life.

To do this, we first have to abandon our ego-centric conceptions of self. We can no longer look out at the world through the eyes of strident individual self-interest. And above all, we must be ready to repudiate our gladiatorial existence and learn how to be communal beings. To commune with ourselves, with each other, with nature, with past and future possibilities.

This is no mere poetic flight of fancy. It is the survival imperative of our times. Beyond re-branding ourselves in this way, the true challenge lies in leadership for holistic thrivability. And we cannot meet this challenge alone.
