This is how you change behaviours! There is an "attitude-behavior gap" when it comes to purchasing #sustainable products, according to a new study. Encourage pride - not guilt - when marketing to consumers. buff.ly/33m7S3R via @FastCompany #SDGs #GlobalGoals

Have old Lego blocks? @LEGO_Group's Give Back Box, a #socialenterprise, will clean the toys & repackage them for @TeachForAmerica & @bgcboston. It's just a small piece of the company's goals to be more #sustainable! buff.ly/31Zs8Ig via @FastCompany #SDGs #GlobalGoals
