To kick things off let me tell you why we started Clean Economies. We have a lot of problems. We have problems because new variables such as population increase, environmental strain, and urbanization have not been accounted for in the structures we use to make society work. But we didn’t start Clean Economies because we have problems; we started it because we have solutions. There are a lot of people out there with really good ideas. Better than my ideas. Better than your ideas. Better than Einstein’s ideas. And we need them to socialize their ideas and build off them. Entrepreneurs need to take these ideas and turn them into solutions.

Clean Economies was founded on the belief that capitalist ventures can save the world. Entrepreneurs with ideas can fix your squeaky breaks, your pneumonia, or your government.

Humans are limited. We need motivation. Understanding the scope of a problem is easy; doing something about it requires a giant risk that the average person is unwilling to take. What we need is a nudge to see beyond short-term risk to the enormous opportunity for social, economic and environmental change. We believe this nudge comes in the form of the self-fulfillment, financial gain, and recognition embodied by entrepreneurship.

Clean Economies isn’t just about businesses that decrease our impact on the environment. Its about companies and ideas that can solve some of our biggest social, economic, political and environmental problems.

So with that, lets build something really cool together.
