Imagine that you are walking down a road and you come to an intersection, a place where two roads merge to become one. Let each of the roads represent a major growing driver in the global economy. One road is the phenomena of entrepreneurship. The other is climate change. As you look in the direction of the single merged road, you can see only a little bit into the future. But when you look up, you see a signpost. On this signpost are three signs, each pointing towards the future, and on them you see written the solution to global warming. These signs, at the crossroads of entrepreneurship and climate change, answer the biggest questions of why, how, and who.… Read the rest The post Playing the Climate Change Game to Win appeared first on The Heart of Waraba. via The Heart of Waraba https://heartofwaraba.com/en/playing-to-win-the-climate-change-game/

Christina and Rebecca looked at each other. Misfortunate had ambushed their family farm just a month prior, and the young couple stood together at the doorstep of a big decision. This is a story about how individual commitment helps to cultivate a movement. Our protagonists are two pig farming families, one in Germany and the other in the United States. Although they have never met, the Mays and Agers have so much in common. They wake up early to feed the pigs. They watch the weather closely. And they share a common vision. The Special Responsibility of FarmersThere is agriculture and then there are farmers. Agriculture is the practice of growing crops and raising animals, creating the food that sustains us all. Farmers are the people who do the work! A farmer’s expertise spans an impressive array of disciplines from science to business management and from marketing to finance. But most of all, farmers understand people’s relationship with the land. Farmers are not just direct stewards of the land they farm. Their great gift to humanity is that they link anyone who eats (in other words all of us!) to the earth by putting food on the table of people in every country in every corner of the world. Whether they are running a family farm or a corporate agriculture business, farmers play a unique role in cultivating environmental stewardship.… Read the rest The post Cultivating a Sustainable Movement appeared first on The Heart of Waraba. via The Heart of Waraba https://heartofwaraba.com/en/sustainable-pig-farmers/ The solar age has dawned. Solar energy is among the most cost-effective, abundant sources of energy on the planet. The mainstreaming of solar has helped grow solar installation companies by the thousands.

Without vision or a point on the horizon, a sailboat can travel leagues without making progress toward a specific destination. We can allow our sails to be filled with doubt and despair, our heads down without ever seeing how we make a difference. Or we can spend our days looking out of the back of the boat contemplating all the mistakes in the wake of our past. The world needs visionaries who are able to see beyond the grind of our daily work and look into the future, envisioning a better direction for the great boat of humanity. The Nature of Tasneem KhanMeet our story’s protagonist, Tasneem Khan of India. Here is how she was introduced to me by a mutual friend: “Tasneem Khan is one of the most charismatic and action-oriented people I have ever met and she has a mind-blowing approach to the environment. Her belief is that every aspect of life, but especially art and crafts, should be incorporated into the environmental effort.” Ever since growing up in a beautiful region in western India, Tasneem has always had a fascination for the natural world. Even as a young girl, she knew she wanted to dedicate her career to wildlife. That interest led to a passion for reptiles and eventually ocean ecosystems. Her love of both science and art inspired her interest in photography and focusing her vision of nature through the lens of a camera.… Read the rest The post Sailing a Sustainable Enterprise appeared first on The Heart of Waraba. via The Heart of Waraba https://heartofwaraba.com/en/sailing-sustainable-enterprise/ Are you an entrepreneur who works in the sustainability sector?We want to hear your story.The Heart of Waraba’s purpose is to help sustainable entrepreneurs be wildly successful in creating strong companies and a healthy planet.
