Why this course can change your life and change the world

Damage to our environment and natural resources is accelerating and is the biggest threat to human welfare in the 21st century, and the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced.

Fortunately, in this monumental challenge there is a hidden gift and opportunity.

ALL products and services must be redesigned, rethought, and remade into environmentally sustainable alternatives.

Aspiring entrepreneurs like you can tackle climate change, waste and loss of nature by building new startup businesses to solve these problems.

Completely new environmentally sustainable products and services are also needed.

This gift and opportunity is the green gold rush*.

Giant multinational companies have already seen this opportunity. But fear not, because they are always slow to adapt in times of rapid change! Times of rapid change or paradigm shifts challenge existing ways of thinking and doing business. During the rise of the internet the tech giants were small startups, and less than 20 years later they dominate the advertising and consumer goods industries. Which companies dominated those industries before the internet? Where are they now?

This leaves the door open for new startup companies to rise up to the challenge of building new environmentally sustainable products and services and to do it fast, with agility and smarts.

Climate change startups lower greenhouse gas emissions using the power of business, circular economy startups create business by turning waste into valuable resources, and biodiversity startups use business to protect and restore nature.

YOU can build one of these startups.

YOU could plant the seeds of our sustainable business future.

YOU could also be an agent of system-change to create the foundations of our regenerative or Regen future, but that is a much bigger story... it involves exotic new concepts including multi-stakeholder ownership, the FairShares Commons company incorporation, multiple capitals and currencies, Decentralised Autonomous Organisations or DAOs and Re-Fi or Regenerative Finance. 

You might not be ready for this yet, but we will give you a gentle introduction to Regen.  We will also show you how the Solar Punk Regen movement is reimagining the future through the power of storytelling, and stunning visuals to give a glimpse of what the future of the 21st century could look like.

This course is an introduction to the basic foundations of sustainability entrepreneurship and eco startup business idea creation, and includes a taster of the Regen movement.

You will start to think about how to create your own eco startup or sustainable business idea starting with YOU as a unique individual.

Welcome to the green gold rush.
