Environmental Entrepreneurialism The new wave of green business strategy
Can a business really thrive in being "green" or is "green" business just another modern-day gold rush? “50% of the world’s wetlands have been lost in the last 100 years, 50% of the world’s forests have been chopped down, 70% of the world’s major marine fisheries have been depleted, 100% of the world’s coral reefs are at risk, and 6.3 billion people on the planet with another 3 billion coming in the next 40 years. This might be a fad for some, and for everyone else this is a permanent change we must address now.

Recession-Proof Lessons of Succession

The Up-Comers - The 3rd Billion Will Influence All the Rest
The financial community and the industry love to talk about big numbers like a billion. Especially when they're talking about people who are standing in line to spend money. For years we've classified BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) as the growing billion everyone had to begin targeting their products/services to so they could grow profitably. But suddenly that billion look like they are buying the PC/CE/communications products/services as rapidly as they can afford (ok so that doesn't say much right now). So we need to seek out our next prospective market. In a number of countries they have literally been right under our nose...yes women who have previously been viewed as "second class" citizens are asserting themselves and taking their lives, their future in their own hands.

The spirit of the 21st century is partly about laying to rest the ghosts of the 20th century
My Grandparents did not foresee spaceships, computers, cell phones or the Internet. My Grandparents would not have foreseen the scale of population growth either. When my Grandfathers were entering their teenage years in 1911 there was under 2 billion people on earth. Now just 100 years later there is around 7 billion! 2 billion was sustainable. 7 billion is not, let alone the 10 billion predicted for 2050. Today around a third of the world’s people live in poverty. We made great and arguably unprecedented progress in the 20th century. So far we have failed to manage the associated risks and in many ways we are like a runaway train running out of track very quickly. We must change our ways before it is too late.
