Emprendedores con alma social Su trabajo debe repercutir en que la sociedad mejore, pero deben conseguirlo manteniendo la rentabilidad económica. Son proselitistas de su propio modelo de emprendimiento y a menudo trabajan en red. Y cada día son más numerosos en España. Son las llamadas empresas sociales, y poco a poco empiezan a abrirse un hueco importante en el tejido empresarial europeo. “El emprendedor social busca obtener beneficios, no para enriquecerse, sino para reinvertirlos en el propio proyecto, quiere que su compañía sea sostenible y, de forma paralela, busca el impacto social de su empresa. La primera dificultad estriba en definir qué es exactamente el emprendimiento social. Así, la consideración de empresa social se aplica ahora a las compañías según su forma jurídica. Estos proyectos buscan el beneficio para reinvertir en sí mismos Un ejemplo de organización con fines sociales es Emáus, que está constituida como una fundación. En España están muy centrados en ayudar a colectivos desfavorecidos
Waste Ban (2015) - BTN ELOISE FUSS, REPORTING: It can be a hard life for food. You wait expectantly in the supermarket to be chosen, finally someone buys you, you make it into a lunchbox, and then. Unfortunately, this is how lots of our food ends up. In Australia we waste huge amounts of food each year. How much exactly? We throw out 20% of the food we buy, that's 1 in 5 bags of groceries, gone. But it's not just us throwing out heaps of food, supermarkets do it too. So things like these wonky carrots and other funny shaped fruit that's actually fine to eat, are instead tossed away. Each piece of food we toss away is a waste of the resources that went into making it. It's also food that could be feeding hungry people. REPORTER: Stop! Well over in France, they're cracking down on food waste. Here in Australia, organisations like Oz Harvest are trying to rescue food before it reaches bins. It's a start, but they say businesses are still throwing out food that could go to good use.
Earth's Plastic Problem - First News Live! EARTH has a big, big problem on its hands right now. That problem is plastic and our planet is crying out for help because of it. The problems that plastic is causing in our oceans were in the news a lot at the end of 2017 and it’s still a huge talking point. What is the plastic problem? Right now, plastic is all around us. It’s, of course, a very useful material, but the single-use plastic that is popping up everywhere is causing serious issues for Earth. Plastic in our ocean Plastic is getting into our oceans and is harming many sea creatures at school. Plastic is also getting into our food and drinking water, which isn’t good for us, either. It is getting there by being blown from beaches or landfill sites, or by litter being blown into rivers and then flowing into our oceans. All in all, experts reckon that eight million tonnes of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year. Sadly, experts also believe that almost 60% of dolphins and 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic because of this.
30 Challenges for 30 Days Did you know that it takes 30 days to form a new habit? The first few days are similar as to how you would imagine the birth of a new river. Full of enthusiasm it gushes forth, only to be met by strong obstacles. The path is not clear yet, and your surroundings don’t agree. Old habits urge you to stay the same. So, take a moment to reflect on the question ‘Who do I want to be in 5 years?’ Check out this short TED talk first to get inspired: Now pick one or more challenges and stick with them! However, be cautioned, picking too many challenges at the same time can easily result in a failure of all of them. #1 Write a I-Like-This-About-You note/text/email each day for someone (Easy) This is the perfect way to let someone else know you care. #2 Talk to one stranger each day (Hard) This is a great one to cure approaching anxiety. #3 Take one picture each day (Hard) This one gets harder nearing the end of the challenge because at one point you will run out of the easy shots.

Plastic Packaging - Classroom - BTN (without CC) CARL SMITH, REPORTER: It's something you do every day. Open up the lunchbox, unwrap your food and throw away the packaging. But all that waste can really start to add up. In fact, in just one year the average Aussie throws away 200 kilograms of packaging. Environment groups say that adds up to almost 2 million tonnes across Australia every single year. That's one of the reasons why people were outraged when they saw this photo from the US of a peeled mandarin in a plastic container. And some even posted their own examples of unnecessary packaging. After the backlash the company took the mandarins off its shelves and even tried to have a bit of a laugh about it. So some conservation groups are calling on those food companies to start thinking about the environment, above convenience, and ditch the excess packaging. JO HENDRIKS, KESAB: I think we've lost our minds and that we really need to think about what we're buying. And there's a way you can help too.

Behind the Craft: Greenpeace – Turtle Journey Oh my. Where do I begin? Please indulge me as I wax lyrical about being involved in the most important project of my career. *Takes deep breath* – I got to make an emotional, heartwarming and heartbreaking film for Greenpeace. The initial seed of the idea was always my disbelief at the difference between our responses to when we see disasters wreak havoc on humans’ lives and habitats, vs. animals’ lives and habitats. With you now having a bit more context as to just how excited I am about this collaboration, let me take you down memory lane to share a bit more about the process of making ‘Turtle Journey’. It began with the story For the pitch and initial conversations with Greenpeace, I’d written a 2-page document detailing the broad outline of what happens in the film. At the same time as the script was being developed by Sam, we began character designs for the turtle family. Whilst that was happening, the design of the environment had begun too.

L’Upcycling, la tendance design-écolo du moment | Alain Wagener Green L’upcycling consiste à transformer en matière première des matériaux usagers ou déclassés, à les travailler ensuite pour faire naître de nouveaux objets dont la valeur est supérieure à celle du produit premier. Cette approche est très tendance, les designers et industriels s’en emparent depuis quelques années, les réussites sont légions. Le sésame qui m’a fait découvrir la dimension « industrielle » de cette approche, ce sont les pochettes promotionnelles distribuées dans le cadre de l’infructueuse candidature liégeoise à l’organisation de l’Exposition Internationale 2017. Elles étaient réalisées par la société DESIGNpoint à partir d’anciennes bâches assurant la promotion du même dossier. La société fournit aussi des sacoches pour vélos, des paniers à linge, des toilettes sèches en bâches… La bâche est un matériau très utilisé en upcycling. La chambre à air, autre matière première phare de l’upcycling. A Bogota, les produits Cyclus naissent de la transformation de celles des camions.
