Nature-connected Thinking: A Fundamental Change for Businesses
by Molly Gallagher
Course: Independent Study
“I conducted an independent study to explore how organizations can become more sustainable by learning from nature's designs and integrating the underlying principles into their business practices. Using a systems lens, I studied the ways in which nature can help an organization thrive, contributing positively not only to its bottom line, but also to its surrounding environment and the planet as a whole.”
Steele Farm: Great Hill Road. 4/08 An Ecological Economics Analysis
by Steve Fairlamb
Course: Ecological Economics
"The research and practical goal of this project in the Ecological Economics course was to illustrate different methods for valuing a piece of land, from the standard market valuation of realtors and developers, to the valuation based on conservation and ecological services. Under a subdivision and development scenario, I found the utility service-costs to be unsustainable to the local community. Using Bob Costanza's and other ecological-economic methods of conservation and replacement valuation, I highlight the ecosystem services (carbon sequestration, habitat/diversity, water filtration/flood control etc) provided by undeveloped land that go largely unaccounted (and unpaid) for that continue to be threatened or- globally speaking- stressed to breaking point."

Stonewall Farm Sustainability Project
Course: Earth Systems Science
The fall '07 class did an extensive project with Stonewall Farm, an educational farm in Keene, NH
The students were asked by the Executive Director to learn about the farm's resources and develop proposals for revenue building for the farm. Students identified five options and worked on teams researching these opportunities for the farm. The groups were: agrotourism, sustainability and energy, development of a commercial kitchen and local foods projects, local foods restaurant, and capitalizing on existing resources.
This is the work of the sustainability and energy group by four of the Green MBA students. They presented this proposal to the Stonewall Farm Board of Directors. This project was one of the verifications for the course.
