This Friday October 16, over lunch, I will be launching the first in our Sandbox Series - Trends in Social Innovation. Here at CSI, we have been engaging, watching, dialoguing, catalyzing and pushing this concept of social innovation... but what does it look like? what do we really know about social innovation - the new buzz word and how can we get more of it?
Most importantly, what does it mean for your work? I hope that you can join us to be a part of the conversation as we explore, probe and experiment with new ideas that are changing the world.
Green Students Fundraising is a company bringing a fresh idea to the fundraising industry. It provides an opportunity for schools to raise money while helping to fight climate change by promoting energy conservation in their communities. The concept is simple: rather than sell chocolate bars, participants sell compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and other environmentally friendly products. By offering CFLs, customers purchase a product that they actually need, schools raise money, students learn how easy it can be to help fight global warming, and of course, the environment benefits.
