SocialBusiness.org tends to cover mainly social entrepreneurship innovations and thus isn't as environmentally focused as more plainly eco-driven websites, however, there is something to be said regarding clean tech social enterprises that take a holistic approach to positive social change.
One of the most intriguing innovations featured here is perhaps Energy in Common, an international development microloaning that attempts to tackle the energy gap. Not simply using a personal model, Energy in Common also appeals to those in the Majority World who are running a business, even smaller-scale ones such as a street-side stall or restaurant.
From progressive eco graphics and low-carbon concrete products to chic eco water bottle and social good realtors, these clean tech social enterprises are looking to foster an easier living for all.
