As a result, it turned out that we needed about three more globes for the people in the world to have the same life style as us. From this, we reaffirmed that the current life style is not sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Professor Darnall explained that organizations play an important role in pursuing global sustainability. For example, a worldwide chemical manufacturer successfully increased its value as a company, while putting emphasis on CSR. From this, we understood that CSR is no longer a cost.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, using game theory, Professor Darnall explained that cooperation between organizations is indispensable for sustainability but that it is fragile. For example, in situations where a group finds that instead of cooperation, betraying another group could possibly be more beneficial to them, the chances of the group choosing betrayal would be higher. From this, we understood that the difficulty of managing sustainability lies in the vulnerability of cooperation among organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Professor Darnall discussed a more familiar example of how reducing waste at Waseda University would benefit the university, and what kind of method and hurdles could be considered. Some students mentioned that this would reduce disposal cost and improve external evaluations. On the other hand, others pointed out that methods like reducing packaging for products and abolishing plastic bags for umbrellas at building entrances may be inconvenient for some. Also, Professor Darnall was impressed with the idea of diversifying the size of food. Professor Darnall concluded that we can contribute to the management for sustainability from a familiar place.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4561 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/dsc01498\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC01498-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC01498-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC01498-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC01498-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC01498-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DSC01498-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/news-en\/2019\/01\/07\/4561\/attachment\/photo\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/photo-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/photo-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/photo-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/photo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/photo-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/photo-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Before that,\u00a0Professor Darnall performed a seminar titled \u201cAdvancing Green Purchasing in Japanese and US Local Governments \u201d on December 4.
