Re: How green can businesses go? Ideas...
Interesting idea but not feasible for most folks if it is done as we commonly see it in the USA. However, mini-loans, like they do for folks in third world countries, might be quite workable.
The original idea behind co-ops and so on was to pool resources and provide as needed in the rough spots for members. A version of that on a smaller scale than credit unions and banks might be an alternative that would work for small business folks. Keep it small, fairly local, and personal to be maximally efficient.
With the economy like it is, we all need to put our creative thinking caps on.
