Imperative 18: 1st World CSR companies have to engage in clean and green 'intrapreneurship'!

    Despite increasingly popular 'urgent action' recommendations by scientists in the 1980s, it took 16 years (1992-2008) for 154 world governments to design and operate a carbon credit market scheme, and another seven years for almost all the world's governments to agree on the funding and implementation of such scheme and other carbon mitigation projects.  As for the private sector, only a few hundred thousand corporations engaged with governments in world-scale climate change action, and much of their efforts comprised mere statements of support, power saving, recycling of paper, some purchases of carbon credits, and planting of a few trees which are thereafter left to fate.  Why?  The obvious reason is the nature of the carbon credit scheme as a cost with no hope of monetary returns, especially as viewed by billion-dollar coal companies, power and steel industries fed by coal, oil companies and vehicle manufacturing companies, all of which possess large lobby budgets for supportive politicians, scientists and media people.  Unfortunately, even small companies would naturally regard emission controls as profit slicers without hope of returns money-wise.  Given such unfortunate factors, the current near-apathy of the business and political world towards climate change action can only be expected.
    Enter our for-profit carbon mitigation scheme.  Thanks to the thousands of geniuses who developed computer and internet technologies, mass-based carbon mitigation action from scratch (thru the profit motive) is now possible thru blogs and websites, as well as thru the author's Philippine promotions enterprise.  Here's the vision:  a) with the Philippines as modeling country, 1st World CSR companies, employee groups, NGOs and other organizations pay small fees to the author's Question and Answer e-mail service (details in related posts) that will handle Philippines-wide promotions; b) all employee groups who agree with this blog's principles participate in blog discussions and conduct think-ins to design more high-profit carbon mitigating business schemes; c) Philippine and 1st World employee groups and CSR companies and other organizations link up via internet and the author's promotions enterprise (detailed in related posts) to form mega co-op corporate groups thru joint ventures as herein described; d) extensive promotion of the clean and green profit-making schemes by all CSR companies and involved groups worldwide create 3rd World mega co-op bandwagons which copy the Philippine model.
    Why 'intrapreneurship' for 1st World companies?  'Intrapreneurship' means corporate 'sideline business'. Large 1st World corporations usually have departments whose job is to look for new business opportunities that can create new profit-making companies that initially use company funds and resources.  Said departments may prepare feasibility studies for chosen projects and even initially manage such projects in conjunction with hired day-to-day managers and employees. For their part, smaller companies' owners and managers may themselves conduct 'intrapreneurship' by hiring teams of consultants and researchers.  Once the project is ready for set up, day-to-day managers and employees are hired for operational functions.  The system explains why 1st World companies keep on expanding and elites keep on building corporate groups.  3rd World mega co-ops should make a habit of tapping into such corporate culture by selling potential clean and green project ideas (thru project briefs or full feasibility studies) to corporate managements and controlling interests in the 1st World.  The result should be world-class wealth for all resultant participants.  
    If enough mega co-op corporate group bandwagons form, it may take just a few decades to largely sequester the atmosphere's 700+ billion tons CO2 blanket and some 40 million tons more CO2 added by humanity's industries and transports each year.  The event will prevent the feared frigid zones' ice melts which will release killer volumes of methane and more CO2 that will lead to the end of all life on Earth.  
    Like it or not, human existence now depends upon you and your friendship nets promoting this blog!  Considering your action's returns (good 'sideline' income, hosts of multi-racial friends, new business contacts, redemption of poor masses and planet Earth, spiritual fulfillment, etc.), there is no reason why you should even hesitate to become a real living hero henceforth!

Imperative 13: We should entice world capital into the CO2 mitigation campaigns!

    Since global warming is planet scale, we have to target global scale funds from both State and private sectors to initiate and pursue climate change financing action.  Fundamentally, the world's investment and lending funds are so huge and 'expandable' that, given an attractive and practical profit-based strategy, a mere 10% of the amounts will prove more than enough to suck up most of the 700+ billion tons of Earth's atmospheric CO2 while creating jobs for five billion 3rd World poor within mere decades.  Here are recent US dollar estimates from which we can source potential 'air cleaner' financial tools, based on internet data: a) total value, world banks' and peoples' coins and banknotes: $81 trillion; b) stock shares in world stock markets: $70 trillion; c) global bonds: $100 trillion; d) global currency trades: $5 trillion per day ; e) global stock market buy/sell deals: $700 trillion during economic crises, $1.2 quadrillion and up during good t...

Imperative 10: Mega co-op corporate groups should fast-track climate change action!

    Japan pioneered corporate group formation in East Asia in 1860s to early 1900s.  To build a prosperous economy, the 1860s Japanese government imported entire steel mills, parts-making factories, defense works and other industries from USA, UK, and Germany.  Imports included engineering trainers.  Once profitable, the government sold the industries to local elites at low prices and long-term installment.  Since elite families were few, they cornered the deals, in the process creating corporate groups (zaibatsu) that numbered scores of companies per family.  The zaibatsu soon captured large chunks of the Korean, Chinese and other Pacific Rim markets, in the process lifting the Japanese masses' living standards to a great degree.      Japanese industries' need for raw materials however led to the Japanese armed forces' conquest of Pacific Rim nations from 1942 to '45.  Japan was roundly defeated and occupied by US forces in 1945, ...

Imperative 47: I-Congress laws for State/Business synergy and Judicial efficiency

    The Philippines' current $4,000 or so per citizen gross domestic yearly production  is far short of 1st World equivalents at $10,000-up.  Two major causes apart from the past factors discussed in previous posts help explain such stumbling block against mass progress.  One is the near-total separation of State and private sector economic activities.  Another is Justice System inefficiency and corruption.  To address the said issues, two additional I-Congress laws have to be passed and implemented:      1.0  Century Business Planning Law: Trillions of pesos in State tax proceeds as well as billions of dollars in foreign exchange receipts and loans are currently managed by State thru yearly budgeting by Congress, the Executive branch and local governments. From Philippine independence year 1946 to present, the leaderships of such State components have been dominated by lawyers.  As everyone knows, lawyers' training and natur...
