Entry for National Geographic Contest

I would create a social business enterprise that builds zero energy homes from recycled medical waste, plastic and metal. The technology is currently available. The primary product lines would be affordable housing and medical properties. Building the contractor network for rehab and retrofit first before opening our manufacturing plant will allow the construction market to recover. The company would provide energy audits as a means of generating business. Manufacturing plants will be opened worldwide to provide low-cost local building materials.

BIOS will provide energy efficient remodeling for owners of existing homes, and commercial buildings. Then we will open our own product line of zero energy homes that combine the new framing that is one fourth the weight of steel and ten times stronger with an alternative energy distribution company to create the world’s largest green contracting company.

$20,000 would be used to promote Bios Building Technologies through low to no cost PR that would initially promote conservation and co-generation of energy. As a social business enterprise, our sales reps and customers are the owners. I believe that doing the right thing is the priority of the organization, the end result of helping people, saving the planet and boosting the economy is exceptional profits. I have put together much more than 250 words relevant to this concept. I offer it to the world with faith and conviction that the right people will come forward. I thank Sunchips and National Geographics for the opportunity to share my ideas. Thank you, Steve Schappert
