Well here we are with just 20 days to go to the start of Millioneurosin90days.com. This project is ambitious but also worthwhile. In the news virtually every day we here about global warming, or CO2, or Fairtrade or enviromental advances in many different areas, well this project tries to take many of these areas of concern and develop them in a new way. The aim is to combine business methods and current issues and try to move forward together for a better future. I read in a newspaper today that M & S are to launch an "ECO STORE". The plan is for M & S to open its first eco store by the end of 2007 as part of commitment to become carbon neutral by 2012. The idea is to take advantage of the latest technology and apply it to a high street store, and in this case will include energy saving lighting, refridgeration which has low carbon emissions compared to present systems. The aim is to reduce the stores carbon footprint by 55%, equialent to 244 return flights from London to New York.. The plan continues to include reduced packaging by 25% and use bio-diesel in all its trucks . At the moment M & S is only one of a handful of UK Companies inluding HSBC and BSkyB that have pledged to ensure theri operations do not contribute to climate change.

My project "Millioneurosin90days.com will attemp to raise revenue by sponsorship in just 90 days. I want to use half the monies raised to develop a new type of "ECO-FAIRTRADER STORE". This store would be at the cutting edge of technology, and could include solar power, wind power, and new innovative building materials. The location of the store has not been chosen as yet but I hope that this new store could be the basis of a follow TV show simular to a commercial version of Grand Designs as seen on Channel 4. The remaining half of the funds raised will be donated to Charities who work in the countries that many of the Fair trade products that I sell come from. These areas include, South America, Asia and Africa. The kind of projects I particularly believe offer the way forward are ones that for instance offer Fresh Water, New Schools, things that allow the people to plan and improve their futures. So I am now searching for any company or individual who would like to be part of this great project. If you would like to be a part of it, please contact me now, as there are only 20 days to go before the start of this great project.
