@abhayag
Interested in Social enterprise business models (successes and failures), as well as fundraising toolkits for social enterprises. I am one of the founders of Bicycles Against Poverty (a community based organization) in Northern Uganda. We used a subsidized microcredit model for appropriate technology.

How about @jamesaromero - founder of cr8change.org the green web hosting company that plants a tree on behalf of every account, every month... Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary gas causing global climate change. Trees retain the carbon (C) from the CO2 molecule and release oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. The carbon makes up half the dry weight of a tree.

Forests are the world's second largest carbon reservoirs (oceans are the largest). Unlike oceans, however, we can grow new forests. Planting new trees remains one of the cheapest, most effective means of drawing excess CO2 from the atmosphere. One acre of forestland will sequester between 150 - 200 tons of CO2 in its first 40 years.
