This Week’s Green Business Ideas
Green Businesses are becoming popular all over the world.
Business owners today are collaborating with the environmentalists and other eco-friendly organizations to reach out to people by developing and participating with the mission to save the environment.
Because of this, it looks like covering green business ideas will be a regular feature here at Business Ideas International.
Here are 5 unique green business ideas from around the world that we’ve uncovered this past week.
1. Bamboo Bikes from Africa
Who would have thought that a bike can be made out of bamboo?
Calfee Design had been manufacturing these bamboo bikes and promoting them in Africa. Calfee formed 2 groups in Ghana to build the bikes, frame, and then ship them back to US to install the wheels and other parts of the bike.
The bikes then are sent to distributors, who sell it for about USD 950 each. They would like to expand more not only in Ghana but to other developing countries as well. I would definitely agree that this is a good green business idea. He is helping developing countries and the environment at the same time.

4. Power Wellies in UK
You just have to love Power Wellies. It is quite a remarkable green business idea for festival goers.
Since summer is a season for many festivities and for people to join parades, the Orange Company thought of a way to create power generating boots. The sole uses the heat from the feet of the wearer and convert it to electrical energy. This thermo-electric boots can charge your cell phone for an hour!
Just simply plug your cell phone to the power output to begin charging. You won’t have any problems if you need some extra charging, all you have to do is walk or dance and it’s all set to go.
