Microenergycredits.com  www.microenergycredits.com -this case is open source property asserted by The Social Business Action Team for Global Institute of Social Business- Q&A welcomed by team - chris.macrae @yahoo.co.uk

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 –a  co-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 AmbassadorSlide.jpg.

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. 

USA FileNote 2 Out of Gaithersburg, about 15 miles nw of Washington DC , Neville Williams, author of chasing the sun, aficionado of solar energy since President Carter first championed and then forgot about it, and founder of various selco companies in India, now has a usa facing company. It seems to me to be the simplest of its kind but I don’t know where one finds trade association statistics http://www.standardsolar.com/ It has nice sections on how solar works. my question: is there any point in contacting them - if so to ask what 

USA Filenote 3 Nearly 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. 

USA Filenote 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.  

USA Filenote 5The Princeton University microcredit club I think it is fair to say that Sam Daley-Harris as a Princeton resident, and I both like had as its speaker http://www.greenmicrofinance.org/About-Us/GMf-Team-Profiles – I have an uneasy feeling this network is taking over a lead position that I would have preferred to see bangladeshi-driven 

USAFilenote6 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. My question- can america ever be serious about 5 million green jobs without community banking? 

UK1The Yunus keynote talk at the ashdenawards network, founded by the elder daughter of the billionaire Sainsbury supermarket family inspired the audience and has resulted in the BBC broadcaster Paul Rose and his Norwegian colleague Nina Ness attending on June 29. Of course this follows on the prizes Dipal has previously won, the you tube style movie ashden made which we have replicated in yunus 10000 dvd and which is linked with Grameen Shakti's plans to create 100,000  green villager jobs in Bangladesh by 2012.

 Bangladesh Filenote Solar cell production has come to Bangladesh with a 15 partnering group that includes BRAC and Grameen. Bangladesh http://www.energybangla.com/index.php?mod=article&cat=WindEnergy&article=1785 Idco consortium unites 15 partners in Bangladeshi-production of solar cells -Grameen Shakti, BRAC Foundation, Srizony Bangladesh, COAST Trust, TMSS, IDF, CMES, Upokulio Bidyuatayon O Mohila Unnayan Shamity (UBOMUS), Shubashati, BRIDGE, Padakshep Manabik Unnayan Kendra (PMUK), Palli Daridra Bimochan Foundation (PDBF), Hilful Fuzul Samaj Kalyan Sangstha, Mukti Cox's Bazar, and Rural Services Foundation (RSF).     

Kenya Filenote: We can be sure that Ingrid Munro invites the best of all micro-green energy tracks as an integral attraction of Microcreditsummit Africa which is being hosted in kenya March 2009. How can we help Sam Daley-Harris and her maximise that connecting platform for green, remembering that what happens in Kenya is of more than passing interest to President Obama, and Kenya also has Nobel's Green female laureate Wangari Maathai. 

Australia/China Filenote www.barefootpower.com  appears to be  going from strength to strength within its own segment with stewart craine –transparency note it has a small  $4000 social business loan from me

GrameenEnergy.com is a site edited by friends of Grameen. We host this in the belief that humanity’s number 1 click on the web for valuing solar energy should be the official site of Grameen Energy known locally in Bangladesh as Grameen Shakti

The world entrepreneur hero of Grameen Shakti is Dipal Barua, one of the four founding employees of Grameen Bank with the equally entrepreneurial Mrs Begum, Professor Latifee of Grameen Trust and Dr Yunus - Microcredit and A*B*C of creating world without poverty. Every single employee serving Grameen’s aim to help the poorest of the poor impresses us for their flows and mission . There are 25000+ of them – we haven't met them all yet, but wish to. Similarly 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

 We have collected a lot of video interviews of work inside grameen which we will be editing in ways that demonstrate the reality of why any college student should consider interning with grameen or other outstanding Bangladeshi Social Business now if they wish to knowledge exchange with the most sustainable experiments on the planet. Perhaps you’ll find it cheeky but if there’s a CEO of a fortune 500 company who wants to do an internship, well pay the economy ticket and local hotel price. We think it would be the most exciting business trip. Our video film team accompanying you is optional – your Future Capitalism decision!

 If people have verifiable nominations of other number 1 education clicks for non carbon energy we will be happy to link them in a right hand margin – rsvp info@worldcitizen.tv

Coming soon: some of the stories we love discussing anywhere that people want to know about MICROworlds as well as clean energy, and why the race towards a carbon-negative planet is collaboratively possible if we openly network entrepreneurial minds and map microeconomics exponentials

    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.

    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?What qualities 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?

    What becomes possible when a bank is one of the planet's most inspiring organisations? 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.

    Project - Trillion Dollar Auditing which sustainability exponential forward for world's largest global markets?

    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
