This excerpt is from a panel presentation at the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate Responsibility, held in November 2010.

The panel featured experts including James Quincey (The Coca-Cola Company), Sir Stuart Rose (Marks & Spencer), and Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research.

O'Neill highlighted how marketers' 'pricing trap' hinders sustainability initiatives. He argued that while price accounts for only 30% of a purchase decision, emotion and feelings drive 70%. Emphasizing trust and the social environment is crucial for consumers to move beyond price-driven choices.

Amid global crises—climate change, ecocide, declining biodiversity, social inequity, injustice, and political turmoil—Indigenous lifeways and values offer a path to a better future.

Birds, our feathered relatives, provide valuable insights into these principles. Join the conversation.

Our panelists are Aimee Roberson (Cultural Survival Executive Director), Ruben Flores (CS Bazaar Artist), Kim Tekwitha Spencer (CS Youth Fellow), and Israel Hernández López (KOEF Grant Partner). Interpretation is available: tinyurl.com/lifeways1120.

At the TBN National Conference 2011, Greg Spencer presented the Paradigm Project. This for-profit business supplies healthy, efficient stoves to Africa, significantly reducing families' wood consumption and smoke inhalation, while improving their economic stability.

The project not only aids the poor but also leverages billions in carbon markets, combats deforestation, and challenges the notion that profiting from the poor cannot benefit them.
