Kelley Greene - both with the extra E for Environment

Any takers? Need someone with the cash to help get the business off the ground. 

Business ideas that I can’t seem to get out of my head:

Commercial hauling of food waste – who collects food waste?

Would be looking at juice companies, beer producers and other clean waste suppliers. Product would be brought to our facilities where our worm composting process would take over. We would convert this waste to organic compost. We could sell this product to golf courses, municipalities and retail businesses.

Charge $50/week

250 clients would equal $50,000/month. Enough to pay for trucks/insurance/works.

So we would make money on the collection and make money on the reselling of the material.

Close the loop – give each company the opportunity to use our logo to promote green initiatives. To be connected/tied to our company would be a status that others would want to be part of.

6 million tons of food is wasted every year in California. Let’s work to keep it out of the landfill and make real use out of this waste.  Better soil leads to less water consumption for agriculture.

Bag soil in unique bags and sell retail. Dirt never goes bad so product can sit on shelf and have no expiration. % of all bags sold goes towards community events. Soil donations to kids baseball fields.

Sell to rooftop gardeners, sell to small restaurants and sell to home market.

 $0.02 – 2 cents of every dollar goes into local green initiatives. Doesn’t sound like a lot but as the company grows so will the amount. Looking long term.

Any takers?

Social Services

Social services are here to help. Unemployment benefits, disability benefits, food stamps, mental health, and career services are all being maximized in this economy.
Short term or long term benefits are designed to help provide that little extra that people need when times are tough.
We all know that there are those out there that take advantage of these services. In some situations they are taken advantage for years and sometimes carry over to the next generation. When benefits are available it may seem easier to take advantage of them instead of taking the high road. Taking a job that puts someone on the right track and back into the workforce is a good thing. But if NOT working a getting the same amount or more/less money why do it? Hard to follow? Here is what I'm getting at.
Is it a good idea to drug test anyone receiving public assistance?
Can it be a requirement or should it be random?
In the private sector many companies require a drug test prior to being employed by that company. Why can an individual get public assistance (free taxpayers money) and not be held to the same standards?
Could this reduce the amount of people collecting benefits thus reduce the financial stress on taxpayers?
Is drug testing an attempt to control someone's behavior or a responsible way to help those who really need it?

Along the same lines; what about showing public assistance on your credit report under the Public Records section?
