Speaking at the ECO:nomics conference on April 3, 2014, former Walmart CEO Michael T. Duke stated that sustainability for Walmart extends beyond profits. He highlighted that a smaller environmental footprint leads to greater long-term profit, stressing the social and prosperity elements where Walmart, as the largest private employer in the U.S. with 2.2 million global employees, has significant impact.

The conference, hosted by *The Wall Street Journal*, gathers leaders to discuss business and environmental issues. Yet, critics like Dr. Chet Bowers argue that genuine sustainability is hindered by "deep cultural assumptions" of an individualistic, consumer-dependent society, despite corporate efforts.

Quants, the math and computer experts in finance, designed products that nearly crashed Wall Street. The credit crunch revealed our financial system's deep reliance on mathematical models

Quants, the math and computer experts in finance, designed products that nearly crashed Wall Street. The credit crunch revealed our financial system's deep reliance on mathematical models attempting to quantify human economic behavior. Today, quants are at the forefront of another revolution: high-speed trading.

This raises crucial questions: What are the inherent risks of treating the economy as a complex machine? Can we truly control this model-based system, or have we created an uncontrollable entity?

This narrative delves into greed, fear, and randomness from the heart of Wall Street.

The Center’s Laiken Jordahl recently discussed the looming threat of a border wall through Big Bend National Park on NPR’s Studio 1A. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued the largest wall construction contract in American history for this region.

A wall would transform this remote park into an industrial zone, severing wildlife from vital water sources and blocking public access to the Rio Grande, effectively ending river recreation.

We've been on the front lines, suing DHS last month to stop construction in Big Bend. We are committed to its permanent protection. Please share this message to raise awareness and support our ongoing efforts.
