You can apply permaculture to a garden, your life, or your business.
Adbongo applies permaculture principles to the development of cause driven ventures that adhere to a triple bottom line: people, planet, profit. We call this process: ”Organic Business Development”.
Permaculture Prime directive: The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own and our children’s existence. Read more …

We at Adbongo are excited by the latest report regarding socially responsible investing (SRI), and we thought we’d spread the news. Lately, reading the papers hasn’t exactly been a joyful experience, so we’re happy to share a study that paints an optimistic picture of the state of human consciousness.
The Social Investment Forum Foundation’s 2010 Trends Report reveals that during the most recent financial crisis, from 2007 to 2010, the overall universe of professionally managed assets has remained roughly flat while SRI assets have enjoyed healthy growth. During this time period, social investing enjoyed a growth rate of more than 13-percent. As we evolve from a free market economy into a more functional one, more and more people are investing in socially responsible businesses. Read more …

We have accepted our first international incubator project.
The global healing of the society of Chiul, and the rebirth of the heart of each inhabitant to create unity within the community and Guatemala.
Chiul is a healthy, abundant, sustainable, safe and awakened society. Each inhabitant has access to an education that not only awakens their natural intelligence but also their spiritual intelligence and thus activates their specific gift to the world and their Mayan knowledge. The inhabitants of Chiul live well from the products of their gifts and talents, sharing them with the whole world. All people globally have a specific field in which to use their gift through the project Afretlain Maya in Chiul. Read more …

DALLAS, Texas —At a time when the U.S. Congress and President Obama are considering investing $850 billion to create jobs, a recently announced study clearly proves that business incubators need to be part of the job creation equation.
As the 2010 whirlwind tears towards the border of 2011 at sonic speed, most of us are reflecting on the calendar of memories we’ve created. For some, this reflection will result in a long list of New Years Resolutions. Others will savor gratitude for a year full of blessings. Whatever the emotions that arise as we look back over the year, our reflections will inform the way we’ll choose to live out the next year. As Confucius said, “Study the past if you would divine the future.”
At Adbongo, we’re looking back so that we might make sure we’ve absorbed the lessons the universe laid out for us to learn this year and so that we might set our 2011 goals. While some of this information will stay hidden behind lock and key, we’d like to share a few of our *sniff, sniff* sentimental musings regarding our year. Read more …

We’re on a mission to clean out your cans. Yep, here at Adbongo, we’ve been talking a lot of trash lately.
For the past few months, we’ve been plotting away with the fellow madmen visionaries over at Green Ox Energy on a project aimed at revolutionizing the way we view trash. In fact, we’d like to scrap the word “trash” altogether. In an effort to nudge a rickety old paradigm over a cliff, we will no longer use the words “trash” or “waste”. From now on, we will refer to the leftover odds and ends as “raw materials”, “recoverable materials”, or just “materials” for short. Why are the terms important? Because they signify our attitudes towards the subject. Recently, we’ve come to understand that landfills are actually goldmines. Now, we respect them as if they’re King Midas’ courtyards.
