In ourdream job in 2022: • I’ve just opened my eyes… I’m enjoying a wonderful view of the forest through my window as I’m getting dressed. I’ve already obtained a degree in Economy. I’m working as a counselor in a development project in the eastern side of my country. The project’s objective is to stop monocultivation, that’s actually erosioning the ground, causing enormous damage in the environment and stopping production of many other important goods, that might be even more competitive that the one being sowed. A normal day in this job goes like this: - Explain the farmers the advantages of sowing more that one thing at a time. - Thinking about new ways to produce and sell farmer’s food, in order to make them earn some more, which would be a motivation for them not to use toxic products or monocultivating. - Give the government real data about food production in the countryside, so they can plan useful projects to raise the nation’s economy.

Management responsibility on damages to the environment • Companies will have to work in 2 areas: producing and trying to fix every consequence that this production has brought (even though this is already happening, this situation will be clearer by then, according to us). With scarce resources on Earth, the industry will have to be as efficient as possible, of course not forgetting to be socially responsible. As always, a determinate group of professionals will work hard to make their projects sustainable while the other will try to evade this responsibilities to make their bosses earn more than what its fair.
