 A young married couple have just added ..” bushman survival knowledge” as an idea..It took 10 minutes to type in..         we may engage them to invent ideas and upload…

We have now over 30 computers to ship to Mian Channu….waitng to see if our application for funding to transport them is successful…

We are delighted to have formed an alliance with Lugewa Hakim ceo of ;” Uganda entrepreneurs foundation ” We will let you know when he has uploaded all his text and is ready to launch…

We are excited about this alliance because Uganda has been rated the top country in the world for entrepreneureal activity…With Hakim’s blog for the frst time Uganda will be able to globalise students digital products ..allowing any one in Uganda to start a business at nil cost ..with the back up of . The foundations advanced programs..as getting started is often the most difficult part, this should be a great help to engage many more students before they leave College University

GREEN CLEAN CHINA

without comments

There has been concern about the quality of air in Beijing China    ..especially by the athletes who will be attending the Olympic games in a few weeks time..  A recent report about the over 1,000  cars per day coming on to the cities roads, adding to the pollution , would not have been reassuring..

The authories have going to take measures to make it a clean air zone for the “big event .”

Keeping in mind the above and the disturbing fact that the ice fields on the Hilamlayan mountain range, which supply 2 billion  people with water is melting at an accelerating rate ;anything that helps to mitigate this is welcome ;thats why a recent idea posted by Peter, a student entrepreneur,is interesting..by using minibaths the total amount of water needed for keeping clean is reduced..if this is encouraged and employed in millions of homes it will help conserve water at a time is becoming more and more valuable.

Well done Peter !  More green ideas wanted to keep China a clean green country.. more see below…

——————————————————————————–

I have just read Thomas L Friedman’s book ” The world is flat “….Is is excellent reading for entrepreneurs,and very useful for viewing what future trends will be ..especially the section on social entrepreneurs: although Friedman does not say so, he just touches upon it; there is a trend which could dominate the thinking of business schools ;universities and MBA graduates; and perhaps ALL entrepreneurs, that is that the problem of climate change.

Already more and more MBA’s are seeking work with companies who are ethical and green inclined ; whatever the reason is ,this trend is going to continue with the obvious result in a great need for” eco enterprise education.”.that is businesses which start with the idea of being carbon neutral .fair trade,and mainly designing for a fast growing “green” market . Startup-poor is formulating a “3E” program to meet the demand for entrepreneurs who can see the trend and act upon it.

There is another factor which will accelerate the green trend ,its becoming more and more profitable to do so..it only requires a few more weather induced  disasters to wake up  those who doubt realise they will be left behind by the “hero generation” .as Al Gore calls the green movements. There are also tipping points which could greatly affect the business communities..EG..bees are disappearing world wide at an alarming rate..no one really knows why.  could be climate change ?.But if ALL the bees die every person on the planet will be affected..

The above comments helps our readers understand why we are keen to encourage  green startups and why our HQ will have a research team formulating a program for all green entrepreneurs who join TMI…this will be free to the poor as there are four billion poor who if they demand carbon inducing products will add immensely to global warming..whereas if they start green they help become part of the solution and not add to the problem….

What do you think ?   Do add your comments  and your ideas
