This is probably the most long-winded blog post I have ever made but that’s what blogs are for, right! I had the idea in the bath this morning and it was probably due to the strong coffee I had drunk, which I bought from an independent coffee bean outlet in Camden, from which I (uncharacteristically for me these days) sampled again, because we’re out of decaffeinated tea at the moment. The idea was for a start-up that takes the shape of a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to bring global stories to the forefront of people’s attention that concern the successful collaboration between corporations and charities (and other not-for-profits) in the fight against the effects of globalisation, global economic instability and environmental issues... phew!

The agenda in which to bring to the fore might include documenting successful projects in these areas:

- Poverty/food/medical aid.
- Clean energy.
- Education.

These stories would appear on the website where they could be shared, "liked" and useful info attached so that members of the public could get involved in individual causes or just find out more about them.
