Sustainable Business
becomes a Greenstar Premium Partner
Finding great new products --
and supporting worthwhile work around the world.
SB.com is the "first mover" website in the field
of sustainable business. This ground-breaking company provides
an ever-expanding complement of services necessary to support
the sustainable business community on the Internet (information,
employment, business services) and to assist in its integration
into mainstream society.
A regular free newsletter is published, providing advance
alerts on developments in energy, ecology, new business, finance,
innovative products and services, and social action. A particulaly
popular segment on the site is "Green
Dream Jobs," in which you will find employment opportunities
from companies around the world
who seek talented people to work in progressive fields.
Clearly, these goals are in harmony with those of Greenstar.
Therefore, Sustainable Business is now a Greenstar Premium Partner.
This means that, when you visit the Greenstar website as you're
doing now, and make a purchase, a portion of the proceeds will
be paid to this fine organization.
Everybody wins. You get some extraordinary, unusual and thoughtful
gifts to use for holidays, birthdays, for your home, or to mark
any special occasion. Sustainable Business gains support for
its important projects and Greenstar 's international projects,
based in developing countries, also benefit.
So, who is Greenstar?
Greenstar is founded on a simple idea: that people, no matter
where they live, have the same basic needs: for food, shelter,
caring for their children and families, building their future,
leading a life of learning, creativity and dignity. Where people
in emerging nations don't enjoy the social and economic conditions
to support these basic needs, all they need is the tools to grow
by themselves, some assistance and startup resources.
And then they need everyone else to get out of the way.
Greenstar's concrete approach to delivering on this promise
is also very simple: a self-contained, solar-powered, Web-connected
community center. Including a medical clinic and telemedicine
connections, a classroom, a commercial-grade photovoltaic solar
power array, and a satellite dish for telecommunications.
Then, make it self-financing through ecommerce on the Internet.
We create a commercial website to market products from the
village worldwide, and promote the site to nearly 200 million
people who work, shop and learn on the Web every day. Allow them
to connect with the people in the villages by email. The people
in the village will decide for themselves how to use the income
to improve their lives.
In a few months, a village can advance 1000 years, from a
position where there is no electricity, no telephone or computer,
no clean water, little medical or educational support, and little
income, to a position where they are independent, growing, and
connected to the world community.
A trial installation is underway on the West Bank, in a remote
Palestinian village, with great success. To learn more, see http://www.greenstar.org/newsletter.htm
What do these people have to offer that you would be interested
in -- for holiday gifts, for your home or office?
A surprising variety of beautiful and unique items -- from
the historic Hebron area, which figures strongly in the scriptural
events of Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Gorgeous brassware;
subtle glassware and ceramics; finely-formed pottery.
And their culture -- live music recorded recently in the village,
with extraordinary Bedouin sounds from a tradition more than
5000 years old. You can get a free sample of this amazing
music by clicking here.
We also developed a gallery of artwork produced by the children
and adults of the community, which shows a startling clarity
of vision, and fine artistic balance. These digital products
can be downloaded direct to your computer, where within minutes
you'll hear amazing music and see stunning artwork. Find out
more by clicking here.
More about
Sustainable Business
Our mission is to accelerate momentum toward a green economy
by harnessing the power of the Internet. Our goals are completely
in sync with those of Greenstar. When you visit SB.com you can
feel the "pulse" of sustainable business progressing
by reading our online magazine, "Sustainable Business Insider,"
by perusing the mushrooming job listings in the field, or networking
through our business opportunities section. In the near future,
we will help people invest in green business, and provide a trading
center for green business-to-business ecommerce.
In the coming century, the transition to sustainability will
change the types of businesses that exist and the products they
produce. The way we structure and manage our economy will be
fundamentally different. Sustainability is, in commercial terms,
a business driver of immense significance.
 Leaders from many disciplines
believe we are witnessing and participating in a societal transition
on a scale comparable to the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions
- the Environmental Revolution. That's what we believe at SustainableBusiness.com.
It's contagious -- you'll see when you visit our site on an on-going
basis.
You'll learn about how many of the world's largest firms are
using eco-efficient practices to shrink their footprint, cut
costs, increase revenues, and transform the very definition of
themselves. The stage is set to dramatically reduce the quantity
of materials used in production, take-back products and reuse
them, and to altogether dematerialize products.

day;
give him a fishing pole and he'll feed his whole family for a
lifetime."
