It's interesting, I'm currently working with e3bank, which is a new triple bottom line bank. One of the issues that we have run into is how to serve all three pillars of the triple bottom line in a way that makes sense to our potential clients. As a bank it is really difficult to strike the proper balance, since money is always an important topic when discussing a bank, but when you swing too far in the sustainability direction people accuse you of not having a solid business plan. Sometimes I wish it was as simple as making a list, but I agree that it really isn't. Great post! It’s interesting, I’m currently working with e3bank, which is a new triple bottom line bank.

And I really liked this article and the whole idea of the blog. What especially stimulated me was the idea that lists are out of context and, only when we take the context into account can we make meaningful decisions. This resonates with much of my own views around narrow, out-of-context thinking and behaviour being a major cause of violence (in all its forms). If we can get people to look up, look around and look ahead I think we'll have a much more sustainable way of living (and more peaceful too). Peter
