How would you like to promote an alternative energy lifestyle and make money at it?

This is a theoretical question. I believe there are a lot of people who would like to do something to help the envoironment and make a positive contribution, but they don't know how they could afford to make a real tangible contribution. They are just struggling along financially themselves. Suppose you could join an ';Ecological-Network'; and have an opportunity to simply talk about viable alternatives in energy systems and lifestyle and make money when the people you talk to also join the Eco-Network? There are no minimum purchases, no inventory, no recurring monthly purchases, no financial obligations of any kind (I hate that kind of stuff). It would be simple....you join by purchasing a ';T'; shirt or ball cap, coffee mug, or bumperstickers (your choice). They all say something like...';I drive on Nuclear Fusion (Sun Power) Ask me how';. or, ';There are homes that use no fossil fuel for heating or cooling, ask me about it.'; When someone you spoke to joins, you get a referral fee. If they enroll someone, they get a referral fee and so do you, etc. through five levels of referrals. The ';T'; shirts, coffee mugs, ball caps, bumper stickers are all about alternative zero energy homes and electric cars and solar panels. There are companies who offer these alternatives to the public. The ';plot'; is to make these alternatives known to more people. When someone who joined the Eco-Network found someone who bought from one of the companies, that person and all his referres above him would get a ';finder's fee'; based on the value of the sale. You help connect people who are in a position to make a tangible difference in their purchases with an alternative product company. Does that sound like a concept that you think people would be interested in supporting? I just want some input on the ';idea'; the ';Eco-Network'; does not exist at this time. www.isomax-az.com has a start on this idea, but there are no ';T'; shirts, etc. available yet...it's just an idea...What do you think of the idea?How would you like to promote an alternative energy lifestyle and make money at it?
Not too sure about the fees. Perhaps a concept based on grass roots would be a better network.


Those who can afford to maintain their currant life styles, despite the economy will. Those who can not, will make cuts in their life styles. It is those in between, who are wise enough to know that actual and factual, independence from electric company monopolies, fuel demands and rising costs, plus the economy in the gutter, that you would have the best luck to reach.


I would do it. I did it for a county agency, cleaning up other people's messes. And promoting a greener life style to children through their schools, scouts and churches.


Maybe, a straight purchase or a donation could be done instead of a finder's fee. Instead of things that will end up in a land fill, maybe something like the bags they sell at local stores for your groceries, or recycling bags...How would you like to promote an alternative energy lifestyle and make money at it?
Ahhh. Sounds like an Al Gore multi-level marketing plan. Can I ';Go Diamond?'; Call it Goreway, and earn a six figure income pyramiding lies and ignorance.





Yeah, yeah - - - - that's the ticket.





Stop worrying about the environment and worry about losing freedom and prosperity in America.
I have been trying for years.

Been trying, and still no closer.
It sounds like a pyramid scam (which are illegal) based on green guilt.
Is the CEO's name Mr. Ponzi???
yup
I think it would be a great idea if it were illegal. Pyramid schemes always try and take advantage of those people who can't think true the ideas that seem to good to be true. Any organization that claims to be totally free, but requires just a ';small monetary purchase'; can not be on the up and up. It also reeks of organized religion or a cult.
It sounds wonderful in theory but the one problem I have with it is the ';make money'; part. I am always looking for more that I can do to have less of an effect on the planet but I do not want to make money doing it. I think it is because being green is also an ethical issue. Making a profit out of being green just seems wrong to me. I don't want to be out of pocket and a lot of alternative products do save me money in the long run (long-life light bulbs, solar heating) but to actively seek to make being green a business, becoming a salesman/woman?....No can't do it.


I do think you have a good idea there though and perhaps more entrepreneurial people would be interested.
