  3. Social entrepreneurship
  4. Large enterprise sustainability/responsibility stories (e.g. Google, Wal-Mart, GM)

Then, there were your comments: Many of you rained praise on us: " Have to subscribe to tons of eNewsletters for what I do --- 3P is one of the few I look forward to getting :))" "Love the variety!" But we take the constructive criticism most seriously, specifically about improving the content and timeliness of our twitter feed, improvements to the newsletter, and our need to beef up the proofreading. We're a work in progress and we appreciate the feedback. We'll be working to implement it over the next couple months. Finally, the winner of our random drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card is Julia Sable! Congratulations Julia, we'll be in touch by email.
