greenz.jp Around the World!
Feb 8th, 2010
Recently greenz.jp has been attracting a lot of attention from international sources. Two of our most recent listings were in i-genius, a world community of social entrepreneurs that seeks to inspire a new generation of social innovators, social business and social enterprise, and Wend Magazine, a forum for real people, writing real stories about real adventures and real environmental issues.
i-genius’ website says:
The world is full of people who want to make a difference. People who are interested in helping others and the wider environment.
i-genius helps people promote what they are doing, their work, their ideas, their passion – and through our community, enables them to connect with others.
In our community we seek to stimulate fresh thinking and bright ideas, and inspire a new generation to become ‘social entrepreneurs‘. Social entrepreneurs are individuals who create or develop businesses (whether commercial or not for profit) where the primary focus is on social change.
i-genius also seeks to stimulate partnerships between our members and to support them by developing partnerships with established organisations (corporations, NGOs, government, media).
If have an idea or passion that you hope will be of benefit to others and the world we live in, we welcome you to join i-genius.
The people at Wend describe themselves as follows:
Wend is a forum for real people, writing real stories about real adventures and real environmental issues. As an independent media group, active in both environmental activism and the outdoors, we realize that part of going off the beaten path means making sure the path doesn’t get beaten. We are a magazine that understands that to advocate for the majesty of nature, we’d be hypocritical to print on paper that comes from destroying it, and thus, every issue of Wend is printed on locally sourced, FSC certified paper.
Our mission is to educate and inspire, as we see travel and experience as revelation that enriches our lives, and makes us better world citizens. We travel not to escape but to challenge ourselves and discover the humanity that every culture, big or small, poor or rich, shares. Sometimes grand adventure takes us to the other side of the planet, atop a towering peak, across an ocean, or even to our own cities, just around the corner. Our narrative style doesn’t focus so much on where we go, or what summit we made, but rather all the nuances of how we get there. We are people who write in our journals, take photographs, and build our understanding of the world one step at a time with humility and respect.
We believe in partnering with outdoor brands and environmental organizations who exist to promote a true green ethic and economy. We have built our growth model so that our love for the earth, in all its vast wonders, translates into a better ability to affect the destiny we face as human inhabitants of it.
