EWS is now accepting inquiries from those entrepreneurs (and ecopreneurs) who are interested in learning more about how they can benefit from this lucrative green business opportunity.

No one can predict the future, but you can prepare for it. By embarking on a new venture as an Affiliate with Environmental Waste Solutions (EWS), you will ensure that your financial future will sustain itself through down markets. Since 1974, EWS has been launching ecopreneurs into new green business opportunities with their proven business model. Located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, EWS is readily able to assist new Affiliates around the country with extensive training and consulting services, and will work closely with their Affiliates to partner with them through joint ventures as well to help fuel their success.

The goal at EWS is to assist companies in developing green business practices, and very few small businesses can also offer their Affiliates the potential for earning a six-figure income while doing well for the environment. ‘For reasons that are obvious, Affiliates have been succeeding in the business of waste removal. With more companies having to legally (albeit morally) comply with environmental laws as to how to not only dispose of their trash but how to limit excess that is filling up our landfills, people have become more creative in finding various waste disposal solutions while also cutting costs,’ states Darwyn Williams, President and Founder ‘We are only scratching the surface when it comes to green business opportunities available to us even in a down market.’ Read more.

There are plenty of schools out there with green practices among their goals, but a new school opening this fall in Bali will be entrepreneurially green from top to bottom.

The Green School, which will offer preschool through year eight, aims to provide a place where students can become more curious and more passionate about their education and the planet. The school’s eight-hectare campus in Sibang Kaja is divided by the Ayung River, on whose western bank are the school’s classrooms, libraries, laboratories and kitchens. Aquaculture ponds, organic vegetable gardens, edible mazes and permacultural gardens are interspersed throughout the vast campus, which is built entirely of low-impact and environmentally conscious materials such as bamboo, alang-alang grass and traditional Balinese mud walls. For energy supplies, the school is experimenting with micro-hydro power generation as well as producing methane from cow manure to fuel stoves and developing a gasification unit that will use rice husks and other organic materials to produce electricity. A working organic chocolate factory, large sports fields, gymnasium, high ropes course and a network of bicycle paths are also part of the campus.

The Green School’s curriculum, meanwhile, combines demanding academic content taught through a holistic approach that aims to inspire and enhance all of a child’s capacities. The school’s Learning Village, for example, gives students a chance to apply lessons to specific disciplines and real business situations, making abstract ideas come to practical life. Students are involved in everything from manufacturing their own chocolate to helping manage the organic fields, bamboo plantations and rice paddies that are integral to the campus. The Green School is open to children from all over the world, with boarding available starting next year for those in seventh grade and up. Villas are available for international families whose children attend the school. Tuition ranges from roughly USD 4,000 to USD 9,000 per year, depending on grade.

It doesn’t get much more eco-iconic than a thoroughly green school, and eco-minded consumers with the means to afford it will surely find the Green School compelling. Of course, the concept seems like one that could also work in other parts of the world. One to watch!

East Valley Tribune:

“Going Green” is a hot topic and one of the most popular places in town to talk about how to do it is Green Drinks.
Green Drinks is a social gathering for “people interested in the planet,” according to event organizers at a.k.a. Green, a building and resource center in Scottsdale that focuses on environmentally friendly products and sustainability.

It actually began about three years ago, but attracted mostly people in the homebuilding industry who were interested in business networking.

“It grew a bit, but then interest seemed to wane,” said Mick Dalrymple, owner of a.k.a Green. “When it started taking off again, we were seeing people from all kinds of industries with all different backgrounds.”

The first Tuesday of every month the store coordinates this event to help “green” professionals network, share ideas and support each other in their businesses and organizations.

The event has been growing exponentially since it started, Dalrymple said, but seems to be gaining momentum as more businesses owners and individuals take an interest in eco-friendly practices. At the upcoming event they are expecting around 200 people, he said.

“We are actually running into the problem of finding locations to hold it that we don’t overwhelm,” he said. The event moves each month to make it convenient for people.

Beyond business networking, people are using Green Drinks for social networking, too. There have been some love connections, organizers said, and people make friends and meet people who live in their part of the Valley who share a common interest. Full article.
