Welcome to the forum Ron.
"Everyone else can talk about sustainability, but it appears to me that only business will be able to create a sustainable future through investment in environmentally neutral or positive technologies"
Unfortunately, whilst many will agree with the premise that you have suggested above, I'm afraid that I am not one of them.
These philanthropic businesses you speak of, are these not often the same businesses that got us in this position in the first place? Yes, business would love an opportunity page on this site to give them greater opportunities to make money. However, the pursuit of a growing GDP has been discredited by a significant number of commentators as unsustainable. It is actually the 'talk' from the rest of us that will shape business and ensure that it takes sustainability in to account.
I for one would like to believe that businesses are here to satisfy my needs and not visa versa. However, a page for sustainable 'not for profit' bussinesses would seem to be in keeping with the ethos of this site.
Regards,
Neil.
