A Million Elephants sell products that are made by up-cycling "recycled scrap war" metal into products that are made for commercial retail sale through trade partnerships between A Million Elephants and Laos handmade artisans. A Million Elephants has a unique supply chain, as the "bomb products" are made through reverse manufacturing war materials. This is an innovative solution to waste management that has allowed for the company to sell products with sustainably sourced materials that subsequently aid in the country's waste management of these disposed metals. This supply chain is unique to Laos, as this recycled scrap metal is sourced from materials such as weapons and decommissioned bombs left throughout Laos after the Vietnam war. This innovative solution of up-cycling war metals through reverse manufacturing in turn creates an economic opportunity that provides decent work and fair pay to artisans in Laos; who are creating these handmade crafts. Using recycled scrap war metal in products supports the market that has emerged for its collection and trade, which subsequently aids in the de-mining and de-contamination of war materials left throughout regions in Laos. The retail sale of these products through A Million Elephants, therefore allows for this innovative product to be sold commercially, which generates further support and growth in opportunities for the products to be made.
Hansel is a third sector organization located in Ayrshire, Scotland. Although Hansel provides many different services for people with disabilities, including personal care, elderly care and helping people with learning disabilities, Hansel deserves to be recognized for its innovative approach to creating employment programs. In Scotland, 33% of adults are considered to be disabled, therefore the service is justified and extremely needed. Hansel’s employment programs contribute to reducing inequalities, Sustainable Development, (SDG) number 10, and they also have a positive impact on SDG number 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth. The employment programs are designed to help people with disabilities find suitable employment and to provide the support to keep them employed. Carol Montgomery is a head of the employment department and takes great pride in what she does. In her eyes, the employment programs have great impact on local people, changing their lives and giving them a new meaning. Often, world employers tend to overlook disabled people and not consider them for employment. Hansel does not agree with that and does everything it can to change that attitude.
“We need to start challenging and changing perceptions,” Montgomery said. “It’s about perceptions and that’s the biggest barrier to employers because as soon as they hear disability, they leave. I think that thanks to sport games like the Paralympics, perception is starting to change,” she noted.
Every day we hear about negative implications of the climate change, as pollution levels continue rising and carbon footprint increases in size every year.

Due to the above mentioned, to combat levels of urban energy consumption and pollution, which are worrying, we might consider the option of investing in sustainable architecture as integrated design strategies and technologies (i.e. use of local and sustainable materials, climate and environmental conditions to achieve interior thermal comfort) improve buildings’ construction and reduce resource/energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Chocollata is one of the first confectionaries in Canada to sell authentic Brigadeiros to locals in Toronto. Inspired by their son who was born with Down Syndrome, a disability found in approximately 6000 babies each year, they decided to use their confectionary to help individuals with disabilities and raise awareness about the inequality they face in the workplace.

Chocollata works to employ these individuals, not only to raise awareness about the issue, but also to provide a comfortable work environment to these individuals.
Chocolatta also partners and supports various charities through their business venture. Portions of their profits go towards Down Syndrome charities to further educate and support these people. They are also partnered with GoodFoot, who provides job opportunities for many other communities of people with disabilities through their courier program. They aim to challenge the stigma around people living with disabilities to work towards a brighter future for them to grow up in.
