Untapped possibilities: Ocean Elder Sir Richard Branson provides entrepreneurial solutions for a worldwide problem
November 13, 2011 | by admin | Filed under: Ocean News | 1 comment
With most of earth’s fresh water frozen in polar ice caps, or trapped below the ground, less than 1% of fresh water is available for use. The United Nations projects that by 2050 more than 60% of the world’s population will lack access to water. Sir Richard Branson challenges entrepreneurs to create wealth while saving the planet and finding a business model to achieve this.
Thanks to Sir Richard and all of the Ocean Elders for providing this platform to promote our ideas and produce real change in the world. After losing my mom to cancer and taking her dream trip, I fell in love with shark diving and found my calling to share this experience with cancer survivors. We invite the Ocean Elders to join Fin Forward and our survivors for a swim along our “2012 Mayan Shark Odyssey” or during our “Celebrity Cage Dive” with great white sharks. Sharing our love of the oceans with others, Fin Forward hopes to help ‘dreams become blue.” Thanks for all your past contributions as individuals and your future service as the Ocean Elders!
