Rent Textbooks to Students. It’s Eco-Friendly and Profitable
Purchasing student textbooks, wether they be new or used, is a huge expense. Instead of forcing students to buy textbooks, which can increase debt and/or limit access to education, why not rent the textbooks to student by term? ...[More]
Cow Hoof Cleaner
Apparently the cloven feet of cows suffer from impaction of manure and cuts and sore points from not being properly cleaned a couple of times a year. The environment that cows live in is primarily moist and wet and that can easily lead to the compaction of mud and cow pooh in their feet. Not only can this lead to infection if they have an open wound but that compaction can lead to tender feet. ...[More]
Napster for Books
I am not sure how this would work exactly…but. I believe the Napster concept would work well with reading material. Instead of sharing music, people would be sharing digital books and informational material. FREE. It turned Napster into a giant, (At least for a while) and I would love it because I read alot. I know its kind of basic but the best ideas usualy are.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks. ...[More]

War Zone Tours
The recent news about the unrest in Kenya made me wonder if adrenaline junkies wouldn’t be interested in war zone tours.These tours could have a security guard but take people to see the action in countries that are in a state of flux.Apparently the knock on effect of the Kenya crisis is that it has sent the economy into a tailspin with a massive loss of tourism dollars.Tourism is Kenya’s biggest foreign currency earner, bringing in an estimated bn (£500m) per year - more than horticulture and tea exports combined.It has also been one of the economy’s most spectacular performers, with visitor numbers doubling over the past three years.Our tourism has been affected by the recent post-election crisis and chaos, and analysts warn it could take years to recover.Tourists have stopped coming to Kenya.We have had over 85% cancellations.That means at least a million indirect and direct job losses are imminent .The entire economy is staring at a recession, and this after growing at a blistering 7% last year.And it is not just Kenya that is suffering as a result. No fewer than five neighbouring states channel their exports and imports through the Kenyan port of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean.The World Bank says a quarter of the gross domestic product of Uganda and Rwanda and a third of Burundi’s pass through Kenya, including essential commodities.South Sudan, the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and northern Tanzania also lean heavily on Kenya both for trans-shipments and imports of essentials such as maize.Please donate business ideas to HELP KENYA.This idea was donated by Peter Ongera ...[More]
