Global Sustainability Challenge

One of the most important challenges facing us today is that of global warming. If we do not take corrective action now, we will leave behind a world that will not be fit for our children, and their children. Development has improved our apparent life style, but has damaged the environement considerably.

A friend of mine, like many others is trying to combat the change and has started something entitled 'Global Sustaainability Challenge'. His Mission statements read as follows:

1. To seek out the best and most promising early stage companies and individual leaders and innovators, from anywhere in the world, who have the desire, attitude and ability to promote and enable global sustainability.

2. To invest and connect them to financial and human capital.

3. To educate, inspire and help them on their path.

4. To educate and motivate world individuals and organisations to proactively live and behave more responsibly towards the environment.

5. To promote commercial philanthropy to enable financial and human capital to get to where it is needed to benefit society.

How can we contribute? He needs funding, which I am also helping him find. Can you contribute?
