Not to sound hyperbolic, but I believe that as entrepreneurs, we are responsible for pushing forward ideas that benefit humanity. So, while we're out there chasing our fortunes and success, we can also be actively helping society and our environment.

A great example of someone living this mantra is Elon Musk. He has made it very clear that his investments in Solar City, SpaceX, and Tesla are to help us become less dependent on fossil fuels and to help us one day become a multi-planet civilization.

And before you scoff at these statements, consider that Elon basically took all of his earnings from the sale of PayPal in the late 1990's and invested all of it into moonshot companies.

Yes, solar and electric vehicles are all the rage right now, but 16 years ago that wasn't the case.

But solar companies, electric vehicles, and rocket ships are all expensive endeavors to try and undertake. So how can entrepreneurs, that aren't flush with billions from their previous exit, make a difference?

I've been following a few companies for a while now that are actively trying to tackle the issues we're facing from an ecological point of view, and here's some of the innovative ways they're doing it.
Clean The Oceans - Make A Great Shirt
Last year I wrote about Purakai, a company that was using Kickstarter to try and bring their plastic bottle shirts to the market. I'm happy to report that their funding campaign was a success and their shirts have hit the market.

In speaking with Noel Helsenbeck, the founder, he shared with me the impetus for turning waste into clothing. He is a surfer first and foremost. And while floating out on his board one day, he was appalled by the amount of bottles and trash drifting alongside him. He decided that if people weren't going to clean up their waste, then he was going to use it to make some money.

And Purakai isn't alone in the idea of taking people's waste and monetizing it.
Bacon From Coffee?
A company out of Montana, called Blue Marble Biomaterials, is taking biomass (a fancy word for food and organic waste) and through proprietary processes is turning that waste into a host of chemicals and ingredients that are used in manufacturing products.

I reached out to Colby Underwood, the CEO for Blue Marble, and he had some shocking figures to share with me.

" Did you know that over 95% of the consumer goods we use every single day - clothing, food, makeup, soap - contain chemicals that are derived from crude oil? Because of this, we're never going to reduce our dependency on oil if we keep buying the products that help bank roll their operations."

Colby is extremely passionate when it comes to the idea of taking waste and creating profits. And his company is aggressively trying to replace our dependence on crude oil by taking biomass, like spent coffee grounds, and creating a bacon flavoring ingredient. And ingredient, mind you, that is most commonly produced with chemicals derived from oil.

His company is currently running a campaign called test the waters, which allows regular folks to reserve shares in their company for their online public offering, or Regulation A+ offering.
Ocean Waste Is A Common Theme
As Purakai has highlighted, the waste problem in our oceans is reaching catastrophic levels. Thus, a small company like them isn't going to be able to tackle this problem by themselves. But while entrepreneurs should step up, big companies also have an onus to help where they can. Luckily, brands like Adidas are taking steps in the right direction.

They recently released a running shoe that is made up of 95% waste harvested from the ocean, is still a prototype - and yes, is probably a PR stunt - but it shows a willingness from larger companies to address the ecological issues we're facing.

Similarly, I wrote about Google's Project Sunroof last year. It was obviously a play by the search engine to capture revenue through affiliate sales. But regardless of how they were making profits, they were pushing forward the idea of residential solar panels. And when a company as big as Google pushes an idea, people listen.

And if we can continue to push forward the dialogue of entrepreneurs helping solve are ecological and societal problems, there are bound to be countless brilliant ideas that will come about that will benefit everyone, not just the entrepreneur making the profit.

And don't believe that any initiative to help our society needs to be a non-profit. Profits are a major driver of innovation. If we can harness that innovation for the good of mankind, then it behooves us to do so.

Two amazing entrepreneurs in this world, Adam Dubrich and Leigh Warren have come up with the idea and invented the 'Cricket Cooler'. It is a 33 litre esky/cooler on all-purpose wheels. It has built-in bails and stumps that rotate upwards and double as a handle, a bottle opener and cup holders, it is a great accessory to have for the cricket obsessed (Me and Sam L) tired of temporary wickets made out of your own beach toys. "The idea came about when we struggled to drag all of our stuff from the car to the park one day with family and friends." -Dubrich . "To kill two birds with one stone, we imagined and designed the Cricket Cooler, which perfectly reflects the Australian culture - good times with friends and family, sport, recreation and the outdoors lifestyle." -Warren. Leigh states in his quote that he was frustrated with getting all of their things to the park. So he found his frustration/unhappiness and did something about it. these two entrepreneurs are inventors because they came up with the idea and then invented the product. These two are changing the world by making life a whole lot easier so you don't have to make your own stumps and carry everything around. I am very happy that they invented this product because one of my friends has one and it is very practical and functional. And to make it even better it only costs about $40!

I don't think most of you would know but this is a Lykan Hypersport from the movie Fast and Furious or for short F&F. Ralph R Debbas was the person who created the Lykan Hypersport and he was an entrepreneur because he made the business W Motors and that was the best thing he could have done because he made amazing and fast cars that he sold for US$3.4 Million and he perfected these cars and was paid a fortune from selling one of his Lykan Hypersports to F&F. So all up Ralph R Debbas was a genius an dcan retier in the future not havving to worry about how he was going to afford things he just did it. This car is so amazing that they had to use it in the movie Fast and Furious.

There is a Great entrepreneur and Inventor in America, called Steve Jobs.
Steve dropped out of college because his family couldn't handle the financial trouble of his education. He unofficially continued to check the classes, living off free meals from the local Hare Krishna temple and returning Coke bottles for change just to get by. Steve Jobs went on to have an unbelievable career, eventually forming the Apple Computer Company with his childhood friend and electronics expert Steve Wozniak. Often referred to as "The Grandfather of the Digital Revolution," Jobs forever changed the consumer electronics industry. At the time of his death, his net worth was over $8.3 billion, and his influence will be felt for many digital generations to come.  --- 24 Feb 1955 - 5 Oct 2011 (age 56)---

I believe that Elon Musk is the world’s most important entrepreneur. Elon Musk has recently sparked people’s interest by launching Tesla’s Roadster Model 3 into space. The aim was to land the roadster on Mars, but the rocket’s power was too unexpectedly powerful so it flew past mars and is now flowing around the galaxy. Many people have spot the roadster far in space with a super-charged electromagnetic telescope.

These are what entrepreneurs have to have...V
My entrepreneur is J.K Rowling because she has made a lot of amazing books and has made an amazing world, the wizarding world, and she is a very creative and detailed author.

Today J.K. Rowling is a household name for fans of the beloved Harry Potter book series, but she wasn't always gifted with magic. The fact is, J.K Rowling was at her rope's end before her misfit gang of witches and wizards saved her. Before her bestseller cast a spell on readers, J.K. Rowling was living on welfare and struggling to get by as a single mother.

Today she is estimated to have a net worth of $1 billion. Rumour has it she's also the president of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, although it's a bit of a secret among the goblins.

Did you know that some people believe that J.K Rowling sold her soul to the devil in exchange for the Harry Potter inspiration? When you're so successful people think you're making deals with the devil, you're a pretty big deal.

The entrepreneur that I have chosen is Walt Disney. He was the creator of Disney and their classic films. Walt Disney started when he was just a little boy who lived on a farm. He would draw cartoon pictures of his neighbours horses and this si where it all began for Disney. when Walt Disney was older he tried to get a job as a newspaper cartoonist, however that did not happen, instead he ended up in an art studio creating ads for newspapers and magazines. Eventually Walt opened his own animation company. Walt Disney created Disney because he wanted a  clean, organized, family thing for everyone to enjoy. one of Walt Disney's quotes is " If you can dream it you can do it." this is true as Walt wanted to create a fun enjoyable thing for the family and that is what he did. Walt Disney has changed the world by creating many fabulous movies about the characters that he has invented. he has also changed the world by adding a magical one too. this has changed the world because fans of Disney movies can now go to a theme park and do many things based on Disney Movies. This business started at home which means "it is an at home business." Walt Disney has done a wonderful job and created something amazing, that is now very popular.

The Entrepreneur I chose was Steve Jobs, he was the creator of the "Apple".
He was just a young adult and was building computers in his garage with his friend, Steve Wozniak. Although they smoked and had drugs, he still succeeded with the stolen design of the IPhone, and the Apple McIntosh. His biggest fault was that he stole the design of the first IPhone. If Steve didn't break a few laws he wouldn't have been able to grow is company. He broke laws by having drugs, making small Illegal portable key pad and speakerphone

THIS IS ILLEGAL
