Most Innovative Eco-Start Ups
The 2nd annual green startup competition recognizes twenty-five of the most innovative eco-startups. Entrepreneurs are best at finding innovative solutions to serious problems. Environmental problems are arguably the root of all social ills and it's exciting to see social entrepreneurs take on the challenge. The 2nd annual OG25 Green Business Startup Competition included 25 finalists ranging from a company redefining the off-shore energy market to smart sprinkler systems, and a social network for the eco-mom. Things that one can have as their first start plans can include any of the following
Airbnb[/b] is an upgraded version of couch surfing that matches private residences with travelers.
ecoATM[/b] is an "automated eCycling station." In my experience, most ewaste recycling centers do not currently have the capacity to provide convenient drop offs.
GoodGuide[/b], Inc. rates over 65,000 non-toxic and environmentally-friendly products.
Soleo[/b] Organics makes the highest rated sunscreen by the Environmental Working Group.
ThinkEco[/b] makes a product they've coined the "modlet" for "modern electrical outlet". Plug your electronics into the modlet and "then use your web browser to wirelessly monitor and manage your power consumption." It should save you 10-20% on your electricity bill. The conference also hosted a Green Product Design Competition. All 50 companies/products are worth a review for inspiration to all you social entrepreneurs out there. At Opportunity Green's 2011 Business Conference, you'll interact with celebrated business leaders, innovators and change-agents. Learn exciting trends, critical knowledge and develop winning partnerships to prepare your company for a world where profits, people and the environment are truly interconnected. The benefits from such events are enduring and long lasting
