It's Business!

The inqury question I want to be able to answer over the year is "Can a business model be not harmful for the enviroments?". I think as the greenhouse effect gets worse and worse, business people should be the first group of people to stand out and resist the global warming. Business men have like the strongest power in the world; most of the richest people are business men. They have the most money, lands, and rights, then why not spend some to help the earth? Have those rich people ever think about how and why the air has been polluted when they are smoking a 50 USD cigar? I think greed for money is one of the human nature. People always want more and more money, and it never satisfies themself. As people gain money, they forgot about other things which revolve around them, such as enviroments and ethics. So, I want to build a business model that does not harm the enviroments, and still be ethical. I am going to plant trees or small plants depends how much carbon dioxide I made while runing a business. If my model really runs, I will donate all the profits that I make to the World Vision Organization, save some people who are suffering.

wow.. thats quite a big action there wini..@@ maybe start from something small?? like a small plan that you can start with?? planting trees is good, but where can you plant trees? how will you have the money?? and don't forget we only have.. like... about 7 months or even less...

Planting tree is beneficial, but I'm confused how exactly does it relate to making businesse go "green"?
Just one suggestion I have for you: You can start some basic research online, see if you can find organizations that support environmental-friendly businesses on the internet. If you find any organizations that support green-business, get in contact with them. See if those organizations can provide you with more information you need. :)

Haha~ You are such a nice guy, Dennis.
I think business men should definitely do something about the problem... because it's the corporations they work in that are mostly the ones causing all the pollution in the first place. It seems like an interesting project... good luck!

What kind of business are you going to run!??
It is going to take awhile to come up with a business!? Can I be one of the the shareholders of you company!???
I also don't think there is any company out there that does ABSOLUTELY NO HARM to the environment! Maybe you will be able to find ways that won't harm the environment!
Good luck!!

Dennis, this will make a good inquiry question. Now, we need to define what your lived experience project will be. A question for you, do you really think greed for money is human nature? What about some of the TED talks you watched last year about indigenous cultures of the world? What about the leavers? Do you really think that greed is human nature, or is it Mother Culture whispering in our ear?
