Sustainopreneurship:
- consciously sets out to find and/or create innovations to solve sustainability-related problems. South African born Elon Musk is a great example of one of the more successful sustainopreneurs.
- means to get solutions to the market through creative organizing. A core pillar of building peace is the strengthening of an African civil society movement built from below & beyond borders. @AfricansRising
- in process adds sustainability value with respect for life support . It is business with a cause: to turn business activity from a part of the problem to a part of the solution. The iStart2 movement joining hands with like minded charities, innovative product entrepreneurs and sustainopreneurs operate in this space.
