Create
Your Own Project or Job! – When most people look for work,
they compete for existing jobs. Why not create your own? There's no
lack of options. Do some research, networking, and if you think it
would help, take some training. Then call or write a proposal to an
organization that interests you, demonstrating how your project or idea
could help them achieve their goals. If they like your idea, they might
be able to help you fundraise for it. Or you could write a grant
proposal or propose other revenue-generating ideas, for their
consideration. If you can't find an existing organization that would be
a good match ...start your own.

(8) Green Business & Ecological
Economics
|
|
For a look at the bigger picture – how to create a
sustainable economy where good, meaningful work is the norm, not the
exception – try the following links.
Eco-Economy: Save The Planet (and Prosper). How
do you rebuild the economy without destroying the earth? "The
principals of ecology are as real as those of aerodynamics. If an
aircraft is to fly, it has to stisfy certain criteria of thurst &
lift. Likewise, if an economy is to sustain progress, it must satisfy
the basic principles of ecology. If it does not, it will decline and
eventually collapse. There is no middle ground. An economy is either
sustainable or it is not. This month, Lester Brown explores what the
new economy would look like." With examples of eco-economic industries;
sunset industries; expanding professions. Excerpt from Lester Brown's
new book, "Eco-Economy". The Ecologist (magazine) Vol 31 No.10, Dec
2001 / Jan 2002. www.theecologist.org
