College marketers, here’s your chance to gain recognition one of your alumni-entrepreneurs who is making money with a business that is out to save the world. Fast Company magazine today announced (via FC Now) that nominations are open for the 2007 Fast 50, an annual recognition of companies on the move. This year, the spotlight is on “businesses that are helping to save the world.”
We’re looking for profit — driven problem solvers-people and companies out to address the planet’s woes and make money at the same time. Tell us about yourself, someone you admire, or someone you work with. But make sure your nominee is using new strategies, new ideas or new technologies to tackle issues like global warming, pollution, sustainability, access to healthcare, poverty, trade impact, child labor, and other concerns.
