Social Entrepreneurship

Part of 2010 Conference on Entrepreneurship
Recognizing a social problem or opportunity, a social entrepreneur applies entrepreneurship principles to organize, create and manage a venture to drive social change. Rather than tackling these issues through the domains of nonprofits or government agencies, social entrepreneurs are increasingly realizing that social impact and profits need not be in opposition, and are forming companies with a Double Bottom Line. Our panel of social entrepreneurs and investors will address issues unique to social entrepreneurship as well as current trends and opportunities.

It's great that these guys are working hard to make the world a better place. But it would be great if they were drinking tap water instead of bottled water & were drinking coffee out of a mug instead of a throwaway container.

The micro-finance scheme initiated by Mohammad Yunus showed that small change implemented widely can bring about very large change. Switching from throwaway containers such as those used in this video is a simple start in our transition to a more sustainable future.
