Joe Schnaier: Contributing Something for a Better World
Visionaries are not just thinkers they are doers as well. While the thinking and the planning process is very important in the fulfillment of the vision; the doing process fills in the other half. The planning plus the doing equals the fulfillment of the vision. Joe Schnaier, is exactly that kind of person. The thinking process is there, the planning process is also there but more important, the contributing and the doing process is also there.
As a businessman with an environmental thrust, Joe Schnaier has opened a green and gourmet grocery shop. The store sells everything environmental from organic gift ideas and items to food and grocery items that are organically grown and processed. This store actually promotes eco-friendly consumption and an eco-friendly lifestyle. Not only that, the store encourages farmers to do stuff the eco-friendly way, knowing that a very respected supporter is there and an outlet to display all the organic produce that is harvested is there. The grocery with an environmental thrust is a testimony that spending a fortune to contribute something is not essential; contributing something for a better world can be as simple as a green grocery store.
Contributing something for a better world also comes in the form of new ideas that promote renewable energy. After a long stint with Edison International, Joe Schnaier is proving to the world that a business focusing on a renewable energy source is not only good for the environment but good for the bottom line as well. Brightsource Energy the largest producer of solar energy is a realization of a new idea in renewable energy. Brightsource currently is building the world’s largest solar power project right in the Mojave Desert. This project will showcase renewable energy at its best.
Whether opening a grocery store catering to organic food and promoting a green lifestyle or steering a company towards building the world largest solar power facility, Joe Schnaier has been continuously contributing something for a better world. This is a clarion call for all citizens and companies throughout the world, to make specific contributions for a green planet. Small contributions have an exponential effect to the environment. If companies start to use renewable energy, carbon emissions are drastically reduced. If households shun from using aerosol sprays, CFC’s are also greatly reduced. If people feed themselves with eco-friendly food, quality of life is achieved. There is no such thing as a small contribution when it comes to the environment.
