Late last night I read another article about chicken nuggets, this one about the 50% non-chicken ingredients in McNuggets. Last month it was the gag factor image of the pink goop that makes a nugget. Although we didn’t make fast food part of our daily diet before I saw these, the kids loved them for a treat. Now they have been removed from our diet, unless we make them ourselves.

How can companies get their customers more engaged and involved? Social media has been making it easier for user-generated content to appear as part of a brand’s marketing, usually with consumers. If a consumer is truly a loyal fan of that brand, they will be very excited to see their submission being used by their favorite company. There are many, many examples of companies using these tactics for marketing buzz and excitement as part of a social media campaign.

Even for students who go to class on campus every day, the amount of college academic activity that occurs online today is amazing to someone who attended twenty years ago. But despite the use of online class notes, online delivery of papers – and return of them – there is still a remarkable amount of paper generated on campuses that use old fashioned seats in old fashioned classrooms and real time professors.

Good communication is vital for every business; whether big or small, working from an office, or from home. Without good communication it is likely that tasks will not be completed on time or to a satisfactory standard, which will lead to customers being let down. Communication difficulties can also cause problems with suppliers, leading to unnecessary confusion and ultimately, cost.

I have been a promoter of paperless options since the start of Eco-Office Gals, but I also acknowledge that sometimes you just have to print. When your green business is in need of business cards, stationary, brochures or holiday cards you should at least consider printing responsibly. Two years ago I introduced my initial thoughts about Green Business Card options.

I do not call myself a gardener, because that seems to intimate that I have some level of proficiency at planting and growing stuff. Based on the number of plants, trees and bushes I ripped out last fall because they were dead, dying or just looked like crap, I'd say P. Allen Smith's job is safe. But in the story I did recently for Gannett/USAToday, I realize that sometimes I may need to use more of my "dump it and start anew" strategy for other areas of my life.

Entrepreneur's Daily Dose blog has a list of 6 retail trends for 2011. The trends are: Global Retailing. Going Green. Going Mobile. Local Relevance. Social Networking. Shrinking Assortments. That both global and local made the list caught my eye. It seems a bit of a paradox, but I agree that retailing - and business in general - is increasingly global and local. I also like their description of the local relevance trend: "If you're not expanding worldwide,

I came back with a new outlook on life and a love for the people and land that I left. Over the next dew days I will be sharing my story and a few lessons I learned along the way… On the final leg of the flight to Haiti the realization of what I was about to do really started to sink in.

However, if you discovered the mechanic only did an 80% job servicing the airplane you were about to board, you would want to change your flight plans. We have a high level of expectation for the performance of others.

Last night the church held services until midnight and we could hear the congregation singing. I enjoyed listening to them praise God! Every once in a while you could tell what song was being played but couldn’t make out the words, except for hallelujah. Sweet music to my ears! Sleep was still hit or miss at this point, my mind was just going a mile a minute and hard to shut off.
