“It has never rained like this before. It has always rained, but before, it was timely. Now it is untimely – it is hot when it used to be cold, and raining when it used to be hot. It is because our practices have changed and we have unbalanced things. Everywhere is flooded. Crops are destroyed. Now, with the floods everyone is falling ill, there is disease everywhere.”

With the oceans covering over 70% of the earth’s surface, they are the world’s largest collector and retainer of the sun’s vast energy – and the largest powerhouse in the world. Jacques Cousteau said it was equivalent to 16,000 nuclear plants. This energy is continually renewed and is available 24/7.Just a small portion of the energy conveniently stored in the oceans could power the world.

In 1974-75, a splendidly bright fellow named John Kreidler figured out that artists were a highly unemployed and underemployed category in the workforce, and that these federal funds could be appropriately used to hire them to work in the community.

This was a really good work done by John Kreidler, someone has to take the initiative and work with the government for a certain group to get all the rights and benefits. I and my many such friend groups work at a corporate level but we are always in the motion and efforts of making others educate and aware of Global Warming, Green, Corporate Social Responsibility, Renewable Energy etc by different ways... Many of us are unaware what these type of industries do, how they work on CSR, Renewable energy, Global Warming, what are the ways of Waste Management and other things... we intensively searched more sites and we are successful of finding such kind of one site named as “JustMeans” …http://www.justmeans.com … JustMeans helps us to learn, share the knowledge, debate on the topics like Organic products, Green Jobs, Corporate Social Responsibility, Development, Energy and the Environment, Ethical Consumption, Politics and Governance, Social Investment, Social Media and Sustainable Business. We always educate and spread the benefit of all these to more and more people globally and also want others to do the same, so your one click can save the earth, so please click on http://www.justmeans.com for our people and our planet.

Everyday I have the same big concern about the environmental movement associated by global warming. Nothing happening great for decades. I am not thinking or hoping for any miracle but very few are worried about Global Warming, Green, Renewable Energy etc. A small contribution from many of us will help our planet to sustain. Circulate the word with the help of Green sites like JustMeans.

JustMeans helps us to learn, share the knowledge, debate on the topics like Green Jobs, Corporate Social Responsibility, Development, Energy and the Environment, Ethical Consumption, Politics and Governance, Social Investment, Social Media and Sustainable Business.

Today's global challenges require a new mindset toward value creation, one where the goal of profit-making is expanded to a broader definition of wealth creation. Business as usual will not work and tomorrow's companies must redefine their processes to balance both their shareholders and society's needs. Beyond developing new products and services, the processes underlying business are changing. Companies now co-create their strategies with a wide variety of stakeholders, including employees, customers, activists, shareholders, and NGO leaders.

The inaugural Financial Times/JustMeans Social Innovation Awards will showcase those companies and people that are shaping this new world of sustainable business.

A competitive application process will determine awards in two different areas, an award for companies one for individuals:

Most Innovative Social and Environmental Strategy/Program – This award will be given to companies that demonstrate progressive thinking in weaving social and environmental innovation through their core strategy. Applications can showcase a product, service, program, or strategy. Awards will given to one company in each of the following three categories:

- Large company (revenues in >$500MM)
- Small to medium company (revenues >$5MM and <=$500MM)
- One startup company (revenues > $500,000 and < $5MM)

Green Job funding is not the only liability of congress; it should be contributed by all of us as an individual and also as a group. Recently I have come across JustMeans site; it is the only one of such site which brings all companies and individuals together on one platform to discuss on CSR, Green Jobs, Networks, Events, Articles and Reports etc many in the list. JustMeans is very well designed, informative, refreshing and the most important easy to use, the best usability. I thank to justmeans team for such a wonderful concept. Even if we contribute a little towards society and environment then it also helps us in some or the other way, so please take the charge as a good citizen and do not depend on political funding. Financing is not the only one way to help, even our thoughts and ideas may improve the process of Green on a large scale and sites like JustMeans and others are the only way where we can share our ideas and discuss.

JustMeans - If we assemble the data for last 20 to 25 years on Energy and other Green Jobs it has a positive response in US and UK economy. It has certainly helped in many ways and on a large scale. Past, Present and Future are 3 terms to be used to work and study on any issue. These 3 terms will have the same questions like: How, When, Why, Who and Where, if we set these questions on Green Jobs considering Past, Present and Future data then automatically and mechanically we will have a positive data on Energy and Green Jobs. Recently I have visited a lot on these types of sites for job search but the only simple, well designed, informative and easy to use site I found was JustMeans. I believe that green government economic policy do create jobs and sites like JustMeans & others help an individual as well as company to learn, communicate and search jobs related to Energy, CSR and other Green Jobs. I think JustMeans is the only site where any individual and companies come together to debate on CSR, Green Jobs, Social and Environmental cause.
