Do you know anyone not interested in saving money or saving energy?

The following video was recorded pre the monumental failures of Copenhagen Climate Change Summit. Nevertheless it contains great case studies of four UK companies, Kingfisher, Adhams, Continental Clothing Co., and 4energy and how they are proving the business case for sustainability and that doing good through saving money and energy really is great for business.

Copenhagen climate change conference was a monumental messup however there is hope

A statement of intent was all the politicians could come up with after 2 years of talk and a failure to collaborate and agree on a legally binding agreement over the past two weeks in Copenhagen.

World Business Council for Sustainable Development President Bjorn Stigson issued a stark warning to ministers on 17th December in Copenhagen: "You will not solve climate change without business at the table as an engaged, involved partner - Governments cannot deliver on the targets which are being talked about without business." I agree with Mr. Stigson.

Social entrepreneurs (I call them insightpreneurs and differencemakers - see my article here) are the business leaders leading the change for good. I have written about many of them on this blog and will continue to do so. Become such a leader yourself. You could do a lot worse in getting started that adopting some of the 142 actions I recommend in my book which you can download here.
