Why Sustainability Makes Business Sense

For a company like Philip Morris International to have a conversation about sustainability may seem almost inappropriate to some people. How can a tobacco company—which sells products that are harmful to the health of its consumers—talk in a credible way about sustainability? It’s a fair question. Sustainability needs to start with taking a hard look at the impact a company’s products have on consumers and society, and it’s no secret that cigarettes are harmful.

Circadian Rhythms

Circadian rhythm is a 24-hour pattern that is found in all life, generally mediated by a central clock. Plants use their clocks to coevolve with their predators and their pollinators.

Within the human body, each cell has a clock. There exists a direct link between a novel photosensitive cell in the retina and the region of the brain where the central clock is located, pinpointing light as the main input to reset and synchronize our clocks each day. Considering life on earth evolved with the predictable solar cycle, it makes sense that light would be our primary tool to synchronize these circadian
