MIT Sloan Management Review Article on More from MIT's Senge on Recycling and Systems Thinking

The November 2010 issue of Fast Company has a good piece on the limits of corporate sustainability by Anya Kamenetz, called “The Starbucks Cup Dilemma.” The question of how to get some of the billions of cups Americans put in the garbage each year is a complicated one, especially given that consumers have been trained to buy, drink and toss.

MIT Sloan’s Peter Senge (left), founding chair of the Society for Organizational Learning, is one of the big thinkers about the issue. In a follow-up to her piece, Kamenetz has a new Q&A with Senge at fastcompany.com that covers his broader interest in the waste stream and the potential for a gigantic “underground economy” built around trash.
