After ensuring the extended weather forecast would continue to be favorably hot, this enterprising individual printed professional signs, designed a monumental stand, bought organic lemons, prepared filtered water, and in addition committing a nickel of every sale to a charity to help children living where fresh water is scarce. This simple thought example illustrates that businesses should exist to #createvalue to #buildabetterworld.
