Innovation according to Steve Jobs distinguishes a leader and a follower because in innovation you create something new, it is different from an invention. Innovation is an insight or an idea that is original and useful and in-demand, it is something that nobody had done before and it meets the needs of the present. Innovation is usually a technology or it may be a process or a system that provides a solution to a problem. The importance of eco-entrepreneurs and innovative initiatives in the local communities of America could be the best prevention if it may not be a complete cure. Eco-entrepreneurs are those people who can identify opportunities in the midst of an economic downturn. They are creating a sustainable business and they conduct their business with love and respect to our Earth and its people. Eco-entrepreneurs have a long term goal and they want a sustainable business. An example of eco-entrepreneurs in the United States today, according to Majora Carter (2010) in her talk on Ted there are three existing eco-entrepreneurs in the Unites States of America today, for example our first eco-entrepreneur to create a new innovation that could start the change in smaller communities is based in Chicago, Brenda-Palms-Barber, CEO of Sweet Beginning, who is a manufacturer of honey-based skin care products but aside from her eco-friendly products her company’s real ministry is to train and employ ex-convicts who wants an
Sustainability from a strategic business perspective is the potential for the long-term well-being of the natural environment, including all biological entities, as mutually beneficial interactions among nature and individuals, organizations, and business strategies. (O.C Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2015). Business sustainably is often defined as managing the triple bottom line – a process by which companies manage their financial, social and environmental risks, obligations and opportunities.

Then this study will look at how businesses not focusing
Thesis and Preview: Today I will talk to you about what is causing climate change, the effect it will have on us, and finally, how to prevent it.
This article describes what global warming really is. It tells the extreme effects of climate change that its happening today. It summarizes nicely of what the U.S is doing towards helping fix climate change.
In today’s economy, sustainable entrepreneurship is a popular topic. Companies all over the world are trying to create a green image. A sustainable business has a positive impact on the global and local environment, community, society and economy, and focuses on the three P’s: People, Planet and Profit (Milieufocus, par. 3).

In a world surrounded by a growing population, an increased awareness of ecological issues, and push for sustainable development, businesses are being pressured to create plans for sustainability. Sustainability offers businesses, and society as a whole, the opportunity to create a more stable and economically friendly environment. Not only is sustainability involved within the environment, but it is also used in economic and social settings. Economic sustainability involves the use of taking a company’s assets and allocating them in an efficient way such that it allows the company to reach profitability. Moreover, social sustainability of a business environment involves using a business and their process to support and maintain current and future societies. The business world has invested heavily in sustainability in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem and social setting, but it has offered many difficulties. Sustainability is the future of our planet, and it needs to be taken seriously in order to benefit societies for years and years to come.
Thesis Statement: Global warming is a growing concern of scientists and researchers who believe that it is a serious problem for our planet. The concerns and research have also been questioned and have even been called myths. Millions of people find themselves affected by these weather pattern changes and are concerned for their futures. Activists on both sides of the argument are very passionate and not afraid to attack each other in every way they can. There are many questions that are still not answered, however, we continue to see drastic weather changes to Earth. We must go beyond the arguments and learn as much as we can to stop what could possibly lead to the destruction of our planet, our way of life and our future.
Thesis Statement (Central Idea): Today I would like to share my thoughts on one of the most heated topic of 21st century which is global warming, alongside its cause and its mitigation alternatives.
In recent years, the controversial subject of global warming has been more predominantly brought to our attention. Is the threat of global warming real? Is it man-made or is this just a natural cycle of earth? Does it really affect earth’s inhabitants? Should action be taken against it? If so, what kind and to what extent? It cannot be only a coincidence that the alarmingly rapid climate change coincides perfectly with the increased amount of pollutants that humans release into the environment. The once stable climate has in recent years begun to skyrocket, thus altering the delicate structure of earthly life. This proves to be hazardous to the future of the planet; some people worry that many of the resources the environment provides that
There are three pillars that make up overall sustainability: social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Social sustainability focuses on all human needs being met and a society functioning properly indefinitely. Economic sustainability is achieving a certain level of economic success indefinitely. It also involves having an extremely low percent of people living below the poverty line, which relates to social sustainability. Environmental sustainability is described as, “the rates of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and non-renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely.” ("Finding and Resolving the Root Causes of the Sustainability Problem", 2014) Achieving environmental sustainability will positively affect the social and economic aspects. These three categories are directly related to each other, and to truly reach complete sustainability each of the group’s needs must be met. There are many ways for individuals, groups, companies, and societies to help make a difference in reaching this goal. Environmental issues are currently very prominent in the US and other countries. There are countless activists and researchers doing everything they can to make a difference. Most businesses, like
We as a society have reached one of the most crucial time periods in the history of our world. Due to the way we have used the resources on this earth we have created a situation in which our climate is drastically changing. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil has caused gases like carbon dioxide to become trapped in the atmosphere causing a natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect has caused the earth’s average temperature to rise and has resulted in arctic glaciers melting. These glaciers had gases trapped inside them that are now being released into the atmosphere further raising the earth's temperature. Due to the way we are polluting our air we have caused global warming. This global warming has caused stronger natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires putting our society in more danger than ever before.
Global warming has become a world wide issue and an issue that is causing great controversy. It is an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution (Dictionary). Global warming is a natural process, but because of increase in certain activities this process is taking a faster and more dangerous route creating global problems. Global warming was first theorized in 1894 by Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier a French mathematician, who noticed the earth was gradually increasing in temperature. He came to the conclusion that the earth’s atmosphere was trapping solar radiation caused by the sun and reflecting this radiation back to
This point of this essay, as the topic identifies, is to discuss global warming and the actions taken. Therefore the breadth of this essay will discuss Global warming; Its Causes, Its Effects and Its Solutions.
There is a serious situation is occurring on planet Earth that is causing a significant and harmful effect on communities, health, and the climate. It is Global Warming which can be defined as the constant heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere. In order to understand global warming, the most important basic is to figure out how the of greenhouse effect plays an important part in its development. The greenhouse effect is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) that trap heat in the atmosphere that keeps the Earth warm. The information this text will discuss is the meaning of global warming, the causes, and most importantly how citizens can help to rectify the situation. Humanity must tickle this problem immediately before the consequences increase and affect the entire planet.
Many people believe that the Sustainable Revolution began with concern for the environment. The way we portray our relation to the natural world has changed since the times of Thoreau and Emerson. The E for environment
Global warming is the constant increase of temperature in the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, greenhouse gases and many other pollutants. Chlorofluorocarbons are any type of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine which are harmful to the ozone layer. Global warming can affect many things, one example is the rising of temperature which can result in different types of disasters like storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. Global warming also causes Higher death rates, Dirtier air, Higher wildlife extinction rates, the increase of Acidic Oceans, and Higher seas levels. In this essay, I will provide information that will show how harmful global warming can be to not only the earth but to humans and animals, and what we can do to prevent it from increasing.
