2. Big Questions Worksheet - Part 1

Before we dive in to learn all about that Triple Bottom Line - Profit, Planet, and People - we invite you to do some thinking on your own to explore what you already know. On your own, brainstorm some Global Issues which are important to you. Then, with a partner, think about how companies can help solve these issues.

To get inspired, you could check out what the companies Bombas Socks and Tentree are doing to give back to their community!
