A growing energy is brewing among student entrepreneurs and this energy has green written all over it. Environmentalism has become an important staple in the youth culture and it is only growing in scope. With more websites, magazines, newspapers, and organizations devoting their time to environmentalism it is no surprise that student businesses are creating businesses around the cause. One student business, called The Beanstockd Project (no e), took entertainment and turned it green:

"The Beanstockd Project is a web-based environmental media organization using pop culture as a vehicle to deliver environmental news to young-adults who would not otherwise be exposed to it. Our goal is to harness the power of competition and entertainment to effect tangible change in the real world using an innovative and unprecedented web 2.0 application."

Started by Angela Antony (Harvard University), The Beanstockd Project decided to really mix it up by taking something which people are genuinely curious about, like entertainment and media, and the concerns of the Earth. The killer concept for this student venture is that there is no end to the creativity involved in making environmentalism relevant; every business, product, attitude, and philosophy has to do with how people react to the Earth and this is important for the future development of civilization. With enough application innovation and marketing, The Beanstockd Project could become a go-to resource for those who want to know what's happening while keeping it green.
