<div>2 jack says 0.3% of all alibaba revcenue goes into a green foundation- and so far that mainly invests in the worlds greatest natirural and youth resources -places with huge natural assets often far away like the arctic with a few brave youth there on the ground link back from the futiure</div>
<div>jack says that <a href="http://damocity.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DAMO</a>acadmey believes it is writh investing 15 billion dolars in back from the futures as seen but youth tech wizards from unusual places eg moscow and israel as well as usual places like siliicon valley and hangzhou</div>
<div>jack may be china's second wealthuest man and leading tech gury but until the age of 30 jack says he only had 2 talents - showing tourists around his hometowan hangzhou and peer to peer enelglish languiage elarning</div>
<div>jack says that up to 1500 hangzhou was one of the 2 great hivs for worldwide commerce - the oether was every nation facing the med sea -then something happened to world trading routes- basically the english replaned thriving local peoels all along the silk road with colonisation; 1500's 2 largest populations and eceonomies incdia and china were expoenetially closed down; chiea's appetite to gtrade with the world didnt open to 1976- it then took 3 extraordinary leaps forward:</div>
<div>women eld manufaturing (and in china consumer choice) to hold up half the sky- they scacrificed having more than one child so that china could do industrial revolution in 20 yeras that had taen english speaking world 250 yeras</div>
<div>leap 2 public servants went back to school - the most amzing spce ever to train public servants - if you love l;earning poit tsinghua university on your bucket list- its the happiest university i could ever imagnine seeing</div>
<div>and then jack travelled to america- he saw the web before any other chiense mainlander and spent 10 yeras where silly valley spent 3 months conceiving how hangzhou would once again be the epicentre of all the most inspired comerce peopels can trade with each other; people did not belive jack would succeed - ironically china's old enemy japan came to his finacial rescue- once tsinghua saw what jack could build in 2008 they started teaching stdents something competelky different</div>
<div>vback in 1976 studnets were not alowed to start any companes they were all state owned - in 2017 china launched 5 million stary ups mostly youth built- howver these were not just make money starts up - in 2106 xi jinping joined jack and the whole of hangzhou in celebrating the idea that china's 4 greates modern invesntion were all moer socai/ sustainable than anything the west had yet buit- sharing bicycles and fas trains, mobiulising money ad well as e-commerce; and jack said in 2020 i will strat my 3rd decdae of creating jobs with webs; i want to get back to the most joyful markjets: education, health, green - how can worldwide youth linkin with taht exploration...</div>

<div>yiyi yesterday I had a great meeting in washington dc set up by max with robert rich of arcus (max can explain who he is but few people seem to have remit to help youth choose what they do and study across arctic)</div>
<div>as you can see from his notes , he has asked me to maximise chiense conections around him -<span> </span><b>so my question is do you have time to monitor how china, tufts and arctic groups connect</b></div>
<div>i realise student tme is incredibly precious and many choices collide but 8 visits to beijing (establishing some connections inside tsinghua, and among those concerned with totally new invstments developing counytries<span> </span><a href="http://economistamerica.com/" class="ydpa72fa639enhancr_card_4588485766" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Belt Roads</a><span> </span>need to make) lead me to believe china is miles ahead with distant learning tools and using ai to teach teacers as well as stidents -- so as to that connect distant youth communities and urgent local challenges which ultimately is critical to sustainability and jobs returning to any place and all our networks and education systems</div>

<div>therefore to the extent i can be of any use to arctic peoples -or college students in boston - it is helping connectithose in china with the technolgy but also with the permission to connect all sustainability youth; </div>
<div>i dont speak chinese; i am not in boston for more than about 10 days a yera though america's most open learning speace ; i will never expereintially know many arctiic communities; maybe you and max could tell me if you have questions - i noticed a confucius intitute 100 yards down the hill from the conference room- if what I am trying to linkin isnt a match with your focus, do you know whether there is a way to see if there is another chinese stident who might want to know about this</div>

<div>ps amy at columbia university has about 4 yeras experience of walking in and out of UN youthe meetings and of me trying to connect chiense under 30s with all under 30 especially the billion who are either poorest women or come from the most disconnecetd of education childhoods - she herself coems from maos villages - perhaps you have time to chat to see if i am making any networking sense- </div>
</div>
<div>also in new york is javeed- he's a new yotrket, india diaspora, spnet most of his life in teaching inner city disadvanted youth but now wants remote stidents in india to be linked in - he too is studying eg hujiang and how sepetemebr t the un general assemply is die to stage youths greatest elarning summit -china and india dont always see eye to eye just like russian and america dont but actually if chinese and arctic circles youth dont resolve history confloicts then all our futures were dark</div>
<div>my first story to robert yesterday- how criel nature has been to us this last 500 years- imagine if the whole eursaia continet was 10 degrres latitude lower - bcak in 1500 north europe especially uk could have sailed the arctic circle- there would have been no colonisation of india, no closing down china with opium, maybe no wars no stalins or hitlers and women could have been valued as holding up half the sky through 500 years and not just chinas last 40 years</div>

<div>Kevin Kung, co-founder of Safi Organics. Safi Organics won the $3,000 Audience Prize at the ACCELERATE finale last year.</div>
<span><em> </em></span><br />
<div><strong>Can you present Safi Organics? Which problem do you try to solve? </strong></div>
<div><span>Many farmers in emerging markets are paying 2-3 times the world price for their fertilizers, and we thought that this was unacceptable. We identified that most of the costs are in the logistics of transporting/importing fertilizers from centralized fertilizer production. We figured that if we have a way to use technology to downsize the fertilizer production such that it can be implemented on a village-level basis, we can save significant costs and derive additional value for both the farmers as well as ourselves.</span></div>
<div><span><br/> </span></div>
<div><span><strong>Why did you decide to participate in MIT $100K ACCELERATE?</strong> </span></div>
<div><span>Mostly to get feedback on and validation of our business model.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span><strong>How did participating in MIT $100K ACCELERATE help you move your start-up idea forward?</strong> </span></div>
<div><span>We got very good feedback through the different stages and learned to craft our message much more clearly. Our target market and our value proposition did not emerge until very late in the competition process, but that story has stuck with us ever since. Thanks to the visibility that MIT$100K provided to us, we also got into the finalist round of MassChallenge, which we ended up participating in summer 2016 and obtained extremely valuable feedback and additional acceleration to our project. Now we are up to 1,000+ customers.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span><strong>What is your best memory of MIT $100K ACCELERATE?</strong></span></div>
<div><span>It turned out that the event was a great publicity boost for us. After the pitch night, we talked to as many people as we probably talked to during the whole semester. We managed to identify 2-3 partners, as well as one co-founder who stayed with the team (even though we weren't particularly looking for one at the time).</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><strong>Which advice would you give to this year finalists?</strong></div>
<div><span>ACCELERATE is only the beginning! Definitely plan to succeed in it, but the long-term execution beyond the contest is much more important. </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><strong>What are the next steps for Safi Organics? </strong></div>
<div><span>The company has since grown to 7 full-time employees and 1,000+ customers. We have just expanded to our second village location, and after almost 2 years' of work, just got the green light from the government certification body to sell certified fertilizer. </span></div>

<p>It’s now time to submit your vote for the two awards, both of which will be announced online and in a special in-paper supplement on 27 May. The deadline for voting is 11:59pm on 22 April.</p>
<p>The shortlists are as follows (the voting poll is at the end of the article):</p>
<h2><strong>Nominees for leader of the year 2016</strong></h2>
<p><strong><a href="https://wykefarms.com/green/" class="u-underline">Richard Clothier</a> - managing director, Wyke Farms</strong></p>
<p>Wyke Farms’ “100% Green” initiative, developed after Richard analysed the company’s environmental impact, has allowed it to become the UK’s first national cheddar brand to be 100% self-sufficient in green energy. Wyke Farms is challenging both industry change in a farming environment (where change is oftem resisted) and also category change at retail level. Under Richard’s leadership it has set up a visitor centre and is offering to pay milk-producing farmers an annual premium for using their own renewable energy to help reduce environmental impact throughout the region.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.agentmarketing.co.uk/people/paul-corcoran/" class="u-underline">Paul Corcoran</a> - managing director, Agent Marketing</strong></p>
<p>When The Guardian revealed the extent of the refugee crisis, Paul offered the services of his team to raise support for British Red Cross. With his team, he helped to organise With Love From Liverpool (the first and biggest pro-refugee arena fundraiser event in the UK) and raised £50,000. Paul also implemented a two-month trial of the Scandinavian six-hour working day for everyone on his team in a bid to address work-related stress and create the conditions for a happier, healthier, more productive and sustainable workforce. And he launched Agent Academy CIC, a social enterprise that helps young people into meaningful employment.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomdyrdal" class="u-underline">Tom Dyrdal</a> - business unit director, Avery Dennison</strong></p>
<p>Tom started at Avery Dennison NTP on the shop floor at 20 and has since worked his way up to his current director position. “Make others around you great” is his core principle as a person and as a leader. Avery Dennison NTP has employed 10 refugees for work and language training in collaboration with local authorities. He has also opened the door for people who sometimes struggle to find jobs (people with disabilities, people with little or no education etc). Under his leadership, the sick leave level has significantly reduced from 9% to 5.85%.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/about/who-we-are/trustees/ellen-macarthur" class="u-underline">Ellen MacArthur</a> - founder, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation</strong></p>
<p>Ellen founded the Ellen MacArthur Foundation which works with business, government and academia to help build an economy which drives out waste and is regenerative and circular. Her work has pushed the EU to develop circular economy legislation and she has built an alliance of 100 companies committed to pushing forward circular principles in their own business models.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://wornagain.info/about/" class="u-underline">Cyndi Rhoades</a> - founder, Worn Again</strong></p>
<p>Cyndi has been building the circular economy for textiles for more than 10 years. Worn Again first started working with recycled textiles, with consumer facing products that were attractive and sexy but ultimately small scale. She quickly realised that the only way to completely reduce the millions of tonnes of textile waste going to landfill was to go beyond recycled products and develop a technology that would enable fabrics to be completely re-used over and over and over again. Worn Again evolved into a business-facing technology company. Cyndi engaged chemists from Cambridge and brought mainstream companies such as H&M and Puma on board.</p>
<h2>Nominees for unsung hero of the year <strong>2016</strong></h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://bandqcareers.tumblr.com/post/125840136772/rachel-bradley-sustainability-and-one-planet" class="u-underline">Rachel Bradley</a> - head of One Planet Home, B&Q</strong></p>
<p>Rachel has been a driver for B&Q’s One Planet Home programme, where colleagues across the business are empowered to meet sustainability goals directly through B&Q’s operations and also at a customer level, helping them to create sustainable homes. She worked with the sustainability charity Bioregional to create the programme in 2007 and has been a hidden powerhouse behind B&Q’s environmental and ethical performance.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-coombes-44114b7b" class="u-underline">Ben Coombes</a> -</strong> <strong>energy project manager, Affinity Sutton</strong></p>
<p>Since joining in 2013, Ben has overseen the delivery of more than 1,000 retrofit measures and embedded sustainability practices across the organisation. Whether it’s meeting residents to ensure they get the right support to pay their bills, or personally scoping and delivering a programme of staff training on affordable warmth, Ben is involved across the business. He has also fought for and achieved high levels of external funding and ensured the best outcomes both on bills and comfort for our residents.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://growup.org.uk/the-growup-team/" class="u-underline">Kate Hofman</a> - CEO and co-founder, GrowUp Urban Farms</strong></p>
<div id="dfp-ad--inline2" class="js-ad-slot ad-slot ad-slot--inline ad-slot--inline2 ad-slot--rendered"><div class="ad-slot__label">Advertisement</div>
<div id="google_ads_iframe_/59666047/theguardian.com/sustainable-business/article/ng_6__container__" class="ad-slot__content"></div>
</div>
<p>Kate set up a pioneering, commercial-scale, closed-loop aquaponic urban farm in London on a scale unseen before. The farm produces fish, salads and herbs in unused city spaces to sell to restaurants and grocers. The aim is to feed people in cities in an environmentally and socially positive way, and reconnect people with where their food comes from.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.citizensuk.org/neil_jameson_awarded_cbe" class="u-underline">Neil Jameson</a> - executive director, Citizens UK</strong></p>
<p>Citizens UK has had a big impact on the social and activist community in the UK from a small start. Under Neil’s leadership it has galvanised and focused the movement for change with ethical, direct and simple ideas underpinned by a light touch operational structure.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://bettercotton.org/about-bci/who-we-are/meet-the-team/" class="u-underline">Lena Staafgard</a> - programme director - global supply, Better Cotton Initiative</strong></p>
<p>Lena aims to make sustainable cotton mainstream. Her role is not very public facing – her job is to make sure the farmers who sign up to BCI get the right training and support, as well as to strong arm brands to move their financial commitment from a philanthropic budget to a mainstream procurement one. Lena also has to navigate very toxic politics on occasion, for example, the very real opposition of some regional producers to BCI. </p>
