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.
