After a 20-year career as a sales executive with several Fortune 500 corporations, including Compaq, Godden now speaks to business groups on the topic of ethical profitability. Godden has written for the Los Angeles Times, and his regular "Advice for the Sales Professional" column appears in the Long Beach Business Journal. He also serves as West Coast correspondent for the PBS television series ?Ethical Marketplace.'"The Enron, Tyco and Worldcom scandals have obviously increased the public's awareness about ethical business practices," Godden said.

DVDs of past episodes are available to educators, the media and meeting planners.

They encourage their authors to participate in many areas of a book's development, including cover creation. Writer Linda Alexander found Stan McQueen through an internet search. When she saw his photo of Revere Beach, she immediately knew his moody interpretation of the beauty of a lonely Boston shoreline, authentic to her story's setting and plot, was the only possible image for the cover of her new book. Fortunately, Stan agreed, and two factions of the art world came together in beautiful harmony.Stan's love of the outdoors, or what he calls "lonely places," has been the inspiration for most of his phenomenal work. The shot of Revere Beach is in black and white, and he also works in color, with much of his best work done in infrared to add extra depth and mystery.

Nothing ruins the feel of a pristine, natural area more than a bunch of garbage. Numerous studies prove that tourists return to an area primarily for its cleanliness and greenery. In this era where the economy has come to rely more on tourism, cleaning up is truly a benefit for the community.We soon realized that walking by these messes and complaining over such disrespect, we were behaving not much better than the polluters who left it. Now when we hike we pack a supply of plastic bags (grocery bags work well) to clean up as we go. Often we earn up to $10 in returnable bottles and cans in the process.

When you take a bit of time to clean up some trash not only do you have a better trail or beach to come back to, you have helped to make it safer and nicer for the next user. This simple measure just might influence others to keep it clean, as well. When on the water with the canoe we also clean as we go by diving for garbage below the surface using a mask and snorkel. It is amazing the finds we have from these excursions under water. One of the first times we did this, we found an expensive diving mask in about 30 feet of water ? enough incentive to continue this practice! We have found antique bottles, jewelry, fishing lures and reels.

It feels very good to clear up a beach of shards of broken glass hiding just below the surface before an unwary swimmer splashes into it. It does not, however, feel as good to find a large fish hook by imbedding it in the bottom of your foot. Take heart in knowing you have done a good thing as your expletive echoes off the far mountainside. Imagine an innocent child stepping on that hook instead of you and decide if it is worth taking the time....
