SUMMARY:The New Paradigm of Business - Local Economies
DESCRIPTION:Right now humanity is facing a oppressive list of seemingl
 y impossible obstacles. From global warming to rising social inequity 
 (the 99% vs. the 1%) we appear to be at a pivotal point in our evoluti
 on.\nMany blame the financial markets, multinational corporations and 
 the banks. However many of these arguments discriminate against busine
 sses as if they are all the same.\nWhat if business could be the way o
 ut of our global challenges?\nNot the profit above all else, destructi
 ve kind of business that has become rampant but a new paradigm of busi
 ness. Where people and planet are harmoniously balanced with profit.\n
 Many business are already functioning according this new model and suc
 ceeding. Demonstrating that public demand is already there.\nThe \"201
 1 Cone/Echo Global CR Opportunity Study\" found that-\nA mere six perc
 ent of consumers globally channel economist Milton Friedman and only h
 old businesses accountable for making money.\nThat means that 94% of p
 eople on the planet believe that business should be doing more for us 
 all!\nThis event will explore the next steps in this process with loca
 l new paradigm business leaders, economists, politicians and more. (Pa
 nel TBA soon).\nFocus will be on how we can build a strong local econo
 my in Vancouver towards this end.\nWe will have a round table format s
 tarting with a brief introduction to the concept, then we will meet th
 e panel and open the floor for dialogue.\nAll with an open mind, are w
 elcome to this FREE event!\nPlease Register on Eventbrite as we have l
