“Conscious Business”, “Conscious Capitalism” and “Natural Capitalism” are terms used to describe a business enterprise that seeks to be aware of the effects of its actions, and to consciously affect human beings and the environment in a beneficial way. They also refer to a movement towards “Values-based” economic value, where “Values” represent social and environmental concerns globally as well as locally. These movements have emerged from the theory of Corporate Social Responsibility, and is currently related to movements of Not Just For Profit Business Models, Conscious Consumerism, and Socially Responsible Investing. Most conscious businesses subscribe to a Triple Bottom Line model of success for their business endeavor. They aim to provide positive value in the domain of People, Planet, and Profit.

MIT Professor Dan Nocera believes he can solve the worlds energy problems with an Olympic-sized pool of water. Nocera and his research team have identified a simple technique for powering the Earth inexpensively by using the sun to split water and store energy - making the large-scale deployment of personalized solar energy possible.

CREW is a wonderful new company I have been supporting since it’s inception.
It is an entirely new concept called compounding conscious capitalizm where your donation becomes a investment to finance your vision for an economy that is ethical, sustainable and profitable.

Energy-related economic, security, and environmental threats are intensifying the national conversation about how to regain energy leadership and competitiveness, restore jobs and prosperity, and build a secure and climate-safe energy system.

Yet America lacks a comprehensive vision of how a market economy can achieve these transformational goals.

RMI has that vision, and is now building its detailed roadmap, which we call Reinventing Fire™. This strategy will bring together RMI’s 28 years of innovation and engage the world in our most ambitious and important work yet—using whole-system thinking and integrative design to move the U.S. off fossil fuels by 2050, led by business for profit.

Here is a quote from Huffinton Post in February 2010:
The Bloom Box launch was praised by representatives from major companies and officials including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The much anticipated Bloom Energy product launch included details on the Bloom Box, essentially a power plant in a box. The California start-up claims it is a major breakthrough in clean energy technology.

Schwarzenegger said at the Bloom Box launch that 160 years ago people flocked to California for the gold rush and that same spirit is alive in Bloom Energy’s Bloom Box.

This new “BloomBox” has a huge potential and many high profile investors have already lined up. Months ago Colin Powel was voted onto the board.

Here a bit from the www.Bloomenergy.com website talking about what is a Bloom Energy Server?

Built with our patented solid oxide fuel cell technology, Bloom’s Energy Server™ is a new class of distributed power generator, producing clean, reliable, affordable electricity at the customer site.

Fuel cells are devices that convert fuel into electricity through a clean electro-chemical process rather than dirty combustion. They are like batteries except that they always run. Our particular type of fuel cell technology is different than legacy “hydrogen” fuel cells in four main ways:

Low cost materials – our cells use a common sand-like powder instead of precious
metals like platinum or corrosive materials like acids.
High electrical efficiency – we can convert fuel into electricity at nearly twice the
rate of some legacy technologies
Fuel flexibility – our systems are capable of using either renewable or fossil fuels
Reversible – our technology is capable of both energy generation and storage
Each Bloom Energy Server provides 100kW of power, enough to meet the baseload needs of 100 average homes or a small office building… day and night, in roughly the footprint of a standard parking space. For more power simply add more energy servers.

Watch Ervin Laszlo shed light on the emerging changes happening today and the urgent need for technological and social cooperation and world peace.

This message and news goes beyond the fear of global warming and embraces the shift in consciousness toward not only creative networking for revolutionary solutions but a evolutionary change in the way we live together as a global family.

Ervin László (born 1932 in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian philosopher of science, systems theorist, integral theorist, and classical pianist.

The WorldShift 2012 Declaration

“There is no doubt that we are now in a state of global emergency. This unprecedented worldwide crisis is a symptom of a much deeper problem - the current state of our consciousness: how we think about ourselves and our world. We have the urgent need, and now the opportunity, for a complete rethink: to reconsider our values and priorities, to understand our interconnectedness and to begin a new direction - living in harmony with nature and each other.”

The 999 It’s Time team has identified 9 core action areas where we can all engage with positive change. This interesting group of individuals, who are championing each cause include, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on consumerism, Sam Roddick who is tackling activism and founder Rory Spowers who will be promoting the issue of awareness. On 9th September 2009, 999 It’s Time will orchestrate 9 maximum profile events and actions, aligning itself with thought-leading activists, artists, scientists, politicians, economists and thinkers, to wed the most credible and creative ideas into the 999 It’s Time Manifesto.

On the same day, WorldShift 2012 will also be launched. This global movement is dedicated to co-creating the foundations of a peaceful, just and sustainable world by the end of 2012. The organisation believes that an enlightened government is needed to address these issues and seeks to unite and engage everyone in this process by signing the WorldShift 2012 Declaration to commit to transformational change.
