Why
does big media avoid news of the greatest idea and micro practice network of climate crisis resolution? (Again RSVP info@worldcitizen.tv if you know a greater social business in this area.)
The pledge of microenergycredits.com (MEC) is to keep on aggregating
carbon free households until a market of a quarter of billion clean households have been fully credited. The main carbon offset
exchanges can’t be bothered with counting one rural household at a time. So MEC uses mobiles and partners hi-trust microcredits
who already serve local markets to accumulate the data until it is large enough to get a carbon offset contract for the clean
householders to share.
MEC tells us the same methodology can
be used for any millennium type goal where one by one auditing needs to be aggregated before reaching amounts worth crediting
or rewarding achievement grants from global funds seeking to sustain local empowerment. We can design ways so that global
markets become free again to value communal sustainability (a core assumption of anyone who applies Adam Smith correctly)
After devoting his life to the
race to end poverty, Muhammad Yunus now finds his country timebombed to be flooded by the climate crisis. The least social
business networkers and Bangladeshi friends could do is to publicise and network the case of MEC, and so honor the efforts
of Dr Yunus to unite the world on valuing sustainability.
Orchestrated out of Seattle, MEC is led by April Alderdice
–aco-founder of Grameen Shakti in 1996 (our next case). MEC’s first partners are in India, Mongolia and Uganda and include such microfinance institutions as FINCA and Xacbank.
What
connections can we map between Obama's promise to race to 5 million green jobs and real races already out there
in micro up networks led by eg Bangladesh (BBC report) with GrameenShakti's race to create 100000 green jobs for village women entrepreneurs in the next 5 years,
and a consortium of 15 Bangla companies led by Grameen and BRAC collaborating to make Bangladesh a world leader in Photovoltaic manufacturing ? This seems to be one of the primary networking action-searches that Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus 5000 Youth
Ambassadors can linkin to during 09/10 with a debrief at kenya microcredit summit in april 2010 which we are told that at least 50 yunus inpired youth from MFIconnect will be there to review the year's action progress in every Yes We Can Way -more here

USA Filenote 1 Out of Seattle Grameen Shakti director April Allderdice
has launched http://microenergycredits.com Its goal to connect quarter of a billion clean energy households obtaining carbon credits for them by aggregating records
of partnering MFI who are given a mobile gadget to audit with. Early partners include FINCA Uganda and a Mongolian MFI. This way of making a market for is fascinating
as April believes credits for other millennium goals could also be "micromarketed" by rings of the world's deepest
microcredits.

5 months into the Obama Yes We Can administration, I suppose the pledge to create 5 million green jobs in USA is slowly emerging somewhere but I
am not export enough to find out where. My understanding is that the formal representation of gshakti out of Grameen America which was being
run by Amy Wilson no longer exists but I don’t know if Grameen America has any active team on Green Initiatives.

4 One wonders what is going to happen
next at Jeff Skolls film studio, producers of Inconvenient Truth. Anecdotal evidence of the citizen invitation (thousands
trained to present dvds of the movie) is that folk got a bit fed up of presenting a movie that seemed to be about b95%
about the problem and less than 5% linking in to solution. Conversely, Skoll has headhunted Larry Brilliant from
ceo of google.org (and former media ending smallpox and designing components or aravind eyecare franchise) to make movies
on the big crises of our times. Larry has specifically said that global warming is one of the big 4 and recognizes that no
large nation is at greater risk than Bangladesh to first meltdown.

a groundbreaking standard for all cities to follow. My question- can america ever be serious about 5 million
green jobs without community banking?

there are at least another 100000 Bangladeshi grassroots intrapreneurs – and together they offer extraordinary insights into how 21st C developing nations can end poverty collaboratively,
cleanly and by creating brilliant jobs for everyone- women, youth and men

do you have anything I could specifcally circulate on various collaborations your own market-making could be progressed
by; I feel you ve a huge model that every serious partner of global grameen could know of as redesigning market systems to
be bottom up seems to me to be pivotal to all social business work
if you have anything before tuesday night that
would be great as I am visiting some of yunus paris partners including their central
expert on social business funding structures from Tuesday night on for rest of week
MORE ON HOW YUNUS GOALS AND PARTNERS ARE DEVELOPING
sofia
and I were at the launch of global grameen berlin november; dr yunus has now assembled about 50 partners in sustainability
including 10 corporation ; 10 universities; various ngos that want to turn part of themselves into social busienesses (SB);
various other people in different places who he wants to prepare social business festivals; in particular the largest regional
event - 2012 involves londoners in staging SB events at same time as london olympics
yunus also has new book http://www.yunusbook.com/ previewing march on how he is positioning global grameen (and his maps of global social business networks and each one’s
big goal for 2010s) as number 1 brand in sustainability partnerships

Happy
New Year from MicroEnergy Credits!
2009 was an exciting year for MEC and
we look forward to making an even bigger impact on climate change and helping even more microentrepreneurs gain access to
clean energy technology in 2010!
2009 Highlights
MEC is now working with 9 microfinance institutions globally
who are lending for clean energy
MEC has helped enable
30,000 microfinance borrowers to access clean energy technologies including:
Solar lighting in India and Uganda
Efficient stoves in India, Mongolia and Honduras
Insulated
yurt coverings in Mongolia
MEC launched Yurtcozy,
our peer-to-peer climate change site (www.yurtcozy.org)
Now
individuals have a new way to help reduce climate change and reduce energy poverty! People can offset their carbon footprints
by purchasing a carbon credit at Yurtcozy which helps a microentrepreneur access a loan for clean energy. By purchasing
an offset, members of the Yurtcozy community can help a family in Mongolia buy a yurt insulation blanket, or a small business
in India purchase a solar lighting system.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) will provide
Bangladesh with technical supports for expansion of renewable and clean energy as part of its initiative on creating green
jobs worldwide. In this regard, according to the ILO sources here. Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET),
country's lone manpower training agency, and Grameen Shakti http://www.gshakti.org , a subsidiary of Grameen Bank, working for expanding renewable energy are expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) today.
Under the MoU, skill development training will be imparted to
solar energy technicians of the state-run technical training centres allover the country. The ILO will support the training.
The MoU is seen as a good example of public private partnership between the two agencies for promotion of renewable
energy in Bangladesh, the sources said. Grameen Shakti has so far installed more than 225,000 Solar Home systems (SHs)
connecting 12 to 15 thousand new solar SHs every month in cooperation with other 15 organisations. This has created
good demand for new skills and opened up new avenue for creating a huge umber of green jobs for Bangladesh where the green
job initiative was launched last year.

green youth
ambassadors should be one of the big streams - where by a stream we mean groups of 10 we identify by 1 September
and involve in meaningful interactions that yunus wants progress; urgency enters into this as mostofa is
returning to london from Dhaka soon and i am not sure we have made all the links and raised all the issues with dipal etc
that we need to do here are some of the lines of inquiry
1 mostofa, our 69th yunus birthday dialogue european team were
unlucky that most of us didnt get a meet with dipal barua ceo of http://www.gshakti.org (Grameen Energy) because of yunus' change of plans regarding grameen veolia launch day; at our 2008 yunus dvd 10000 meeting, dipal was pretty explicit in asking us to develop ways that grameen shakti could start being an export earner; I
realise from discussions with amy wilson who represented grameen shakti in usa before it was closed down that he may have
revised his plans back to focusing on accelerating progress inside Bangladesh but there remain lost of questions- and that's
just from my amateur viewpoint- I am sure Paul Rose could add ideas of more streams - mostofa will you be able to check some of these questions out with dipal before you
return to london at end of week after your 7 weeks at Grameen HQ?
2 I hear that ingrid munro's 2000 housing new town Kaputei at jamii bora hasn’t yet worked out strong enough solar for everyone's needs- I
believe that the solar per day is ok for some home owners but not for the premises that expected to operate certain
types of business; I am wondering if there is either a knowledge exchange to be had directly between dipal's team and
Ingrid’s or whether this is one of the topics we could get a segment of youth who intend to attend microcredit
summit kenya involved with
3 i wanted to understand whether there could be a youth ambassador and British council climate champions
overlap "The British Council's International Climate Champions
program engages young people around the world as communicators who will help to influence and educate their peers and the
general public on the urgency of climate change.The International Climate
Champions initiative is part of a range of activities within the British Council designed to build understanding of and drive action
on climate change.In 2008 the program launched in 13 countries (Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States) and then grew to encompass more than 800 International Climate Champions in
29 countries.In 2009 there are plans to expand to 60 countries across
the globe, recruiting over 1,300 young people who are passionate about and committed to taking action on climate change. These
champions are not only leaders in their communities but are also participating in international peer networks, both in person
and online, to share ideas, projects and experiences. " more at http://www.britishcouncil.org/usa-science-projects-climate-champions.htm
4 Obviously london is one of the epicentres of interest with ashden awards http://ashdenawards.org , royal geographical society's young prize winners, other interests paul rose or british council or of peter ryan's
may link through as well as sofia and others finding that the grameen shakti film on yunus 10000 dvd was one of those young
people most want to connect around; how do we get forum momentum around this
5 connecting with Europe we were told by
dr yunus that environment was one of 2 areas that social business funds out of Europe’s would be
prioritizing when these open in 2010 - I am not sure whether he implied the prince Albert fund in Monaco or another one would
be first
6 peter burgess, alexis and collaboration cafe teams joined with paul in hosting a new york collaboration cafe ; usa interests at a citizen level remain both huge and I think frustrated- for example obama promised a 5 million green
jobs program but I have no idea how to map back where it is starting up ; again having a large contingent of green youth ambassadors
connected across usa could at least keep this search going 7 from visits to MIT thanks to encouragement from peter ryan, peter burgess and I discovered that typically Jan thorough April of each year reaches a peak in the mit entrepreneur
competitions where green is always a very active segment; this is the largest and best organized youth entrepreneur competition
I have seen anywhere; moreover with about 300 microloanfoundation bostonians and Mariah’s interests in open spacing
large scale meetings in boston, we need a youth ambassador policy that maximises boston and green and entrepreneur competition
connects; we also have various boston alumni among core yunus supporters including saskia and Estelle
8 over in Seattle
we have founding co-member of grameen shakti on a goal of making a market of 250 million zero carbon households
with her fantastic carbon offset partnership with microcredits model clarified at http://microenergycredits.com
9 the princeton microcredit club - arguably the 2nd best student club model in usa - is headed by someone
whose main interest is micrioenergy
10 one would asume that some of the thousands who facebook etc around thegreen children are
interested in green
11 one must assume that the potential intersection of yunus youth and clinton uni around green could
be strong- bill clinton interacts with at least 45000 facebook club membership by asking for questions to his favourite of
which he makes a you tube response - recent green example: USA Filenote6 Clinton’s 45000 member facebook group May 19 were asked for their top 4 questions about a bold new Climate Initiative program — the Climate Positive Development Program, developed in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council aimed at reducing
their greenhouse gas emissions to below zero, setting
a groundbreaking standard for all cities to follow.
can people please comment on these and other possibilities in terms
of what we need to do to embed this actively in youth ambassador 5000; and if there are questions to eg dipal what should
we be finding out next
Microfinance & Modern Energy: How Do We Get to Scale? Description:
Nearly 2 billion people still lack access to reliable
energy around the globe. Despite an increasing number of promising examples of increased access to energy through microfinance
and a plethora of new, more affordable technologies, very few have managed to scale. Join us for a discussion aimed at overcoming
this challenge, clarifying the role microfinance can play in doing so and clarifying what, exactly, does scale mean here.
This event will provide an opportunity to hear from leading practitioners working at the forefront of the sector. Ellen Morris
of Arc will discuss the past, present and future of energy and microfinance. Amy Wilson of Grameen Shakti will take you inside
one of the few examples on the planet of an energy and microfinance program that has achieved scale. Leslie Meek of the Citi
Foundation and Phil LaRocco of E+Co will give you an investor’s perspective on the issue and Beth Rhyne of the ACCIONCenter for Financial
Inclusion will ground the discussion in the context of global trends including climate change and energy technology. Participants
will work together alongside these practitioners to recognize the opportunities in front of us and identify mechanisms through
which they can be realized.Speakers:·Ellen Morris, Arc·Beth Rhyne, ACCION International·Leslie Meek, Citi Foundation ·Phil LaRocco, E+Co·April Allderdice, MicroEnergy Credits·Ashis Sahu, SELCO-India

10 October 2008: On US Public Sector tv , George Soros says: For 25 years now we have been compounding a sub-optimal
- and non-sustainable -globalisation. Can we get over the "macro" arrogance that it was always extremely
unlikely that we would compound a perfect globalisation the first time round? Can we co-create a stage empowering all
sides to question possible errors and unite transparently around testing out more human futures? Let's
see what 10000 youth can make of these 18 conversation starters
Free Market of Ending Poverty:
Our generation’s Do Now crossroads.
Can we agree collaboration goals for choosing a globalisation map capable of uniting humanity and empowering community sustainability?
Whatqualities would you design into a banking for and by people? One that includes everyone’s
ability to make a lifetime difference? A simple one that everyone can understand and where nobody is seeking to profit
by compounding unknown risk onto others
Are you aware that thriving non-carbon economies are possible, and create lots of green jobs? Eg How can peoples share confidence in solar energy
sans frontieres? Do you enjoy access to peer networks that open source and action learn?
Did you know that microcredit’s purpose of banks
that end poverty was co-founded by a woman? What did she identify with the communal practice and DNA of microcredit from
day 1?
Can we explore how mobile brings extraordinary new solutions for the poorest and indeed anyone who wishes to renew job creation in the
community?
A generation of Bangladeshi’s have invested in a grassroots national strategy of innovating a service economy around sustainability and
collaboration solutions. Agents of community to community worldwide trade wanted!
Grameen’s welcoming approach to youth and everyone is : learning
by doing. Have you ever tried this opposite kind of educational experience?
Social Business Entrepreneurial Revolution 1 (ER1). Bllionaires can compound so much more with endlessly
recyclable social business dollar than one-off charity dollar
SBER2: SB integrates a goodwill
multiplying governance system. This is what brand leadership needs to faciltate wherever people communally want to sustain
truly purposeful organisation
SBER3: Arguably health is the top priortity sector, after banking, for social business global partnerships in capitalism’s
future. Time for microhealthsummit?
SBER4 : 100000 Bangladeshi’s are ready to share a generation’s microentrepreneur experience of SB. Youth
networks urgently wanted
Grounded Practice: For 30 years now, SB models help micro-economists
question when are the conventional wisdoms of globalisation and of development policy actually conventional
blunders
Most Social Businesses serving "bottom billion" customers need to generate positive cashflow whilst offering a price at least ten times lower than consumer markets in big cities.. The New Creativity!
Internetworker for the Poor – Don’t write off Dr Yunus as merely Banker for the Poor. Innovation networks know him
as one of humanity’s great innovation gravities for ending digital divides
A safe assumption for the future is that youth will need to create the majority of jobs. Debate!
Global Industry Sector Responsibility: 2008
has shown this to be the Opportunity and Threat to all our futures. Can you help anyone to hear about the no risk guarantee
Dr Yunus offers leaders who seriously want to partner this quest

Until recently lawyers and other advisers of global corporations have advised
there is no contest- if you are in the boardroom of a shareholder owned corporation, you must apply the macro rules of governance
However
compound consequences of this are now spreading doubt in many places
Firstly, there is at least one global sector "banking"
where both approaches have been tested worldwide, and the macro governed banks are now crashing through subprime and other
compound coflicts whereas the microcredit banks that have stood the test of time have the safest repayment rates.
Moreover this syetm difference is raising a popular question impacting rich as well as developing worlds - is the prime purpose
of banks to invest in productivity and jobs, or in fuelling maximum consumption? Ultimately we all live in communities, which
kind of bank do you to prefer to have all around the future of you and yours?
Secondly, it is now beyond reasonable
doubt that the energy companies that saw themselves as always mainly in the carbon energy industry have put humanity on an
exponential downcurve. The only questions are how far down are we - indeed how far away are we from irreversible
planetary and species damage? It is interesting that an economist of the stature of Lord Nicholas Stern has called the
climate/energy crisis the greatest failng of free markets ever. If this is so, then monopoly governance by macro's rules
are not always what free market was intended to mean by the orignaitors of this central logic of economics
Thirdly,
there is no doubt that microeconomists were much more respected 25 years ago - indeed animators of action learning
what entrepreneurs do. This was before the spreadsheet made governing globally by numbers practical in such short periods
as quarters or less. After 4 decades of being the most prolific leaders writer for The Ecoomist, my father's
writings in te 1980s caled most macroeconimcs disgraceul political chicaery and forecast that if we were to integrate
localities into an equtaible and sustaining globalsiation then a Nobel Laureate would need to imspire the worldwide to
hunt out 30000+ replicable community rising projects geared to ending extreme poverty's trap..
This book
will look at both sides alternating in early chapters between macro's official doctrine, and micro now that at least 100000
intrapreneurs are practising this in Bangladesh's largest and most successful organsiational systes,. Ones that Bll Clinton
has noted are the driver of this natins's recent good news in terms of compound grwoth
.
