<br />AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<br />#spreadthegreen
<br />The Ecopreneur’s Playbook for the
<br />GreenTech Micromanufacturing Revolution
<br />by Dr. Pandwe Gibson
<br />A Manufacturing Revolution is Underway
<br />It’s creative. Income-generating. Inclusive. Local. And green.
<br />
<br />Hey, America! Manufacturing is baaaaack, and its newest iteration is micro, local, and accessible.
<br />In #spreadthegreen: The Ecopreneur’s Playbook for the GreenTech Micromanufacturing Revolution, author Dr. Pandwe Gibson introduces the
<br />GreenTech Micromanufacturing Revolution (GTMM) to ordinary folks in undeserved communities in cities and towns across nations.
<br />Part social movement, part economic opportunity, GTMM, also called advanced manufacturing, offers the everyday innovator a way to
<br />create products and profit through local micro manufacturing, while also protecting people and the planet.
<br />GTMM is an emerging, digital, vital, relevant, practical and sustainable ecosystem comprised of ecopreneurs, creators, programmers,
<br />co-workers, collaborators, mentors, investors and nonprofits, all working together in apprentice-based incubators and other communal
<br />workspaces to start small businesses, rebuild communities and advance lives. Yet many Americans are not yet aware of this potentially
<br />life-changing option, having cut our collective teeth on decades of restrictive, dirty, expensive, high-minimum factories and offshore
<br />outsourcing. The average person was shut out.
<br />What’s also new is connecting micromanufacturing with green and tech. GTMM offers an achievable, sustainable, small-batch, wealth-
<br />generation opportunity. Dr. Gibson’s ecopreneurial vision is to bring micromanufacturing back to communities across the land so people
<br />can become self-sustaining, sustainable business owners. Best of all, there’s no need for the expensive student loans that Dr. Gibson
<br />undertook. It has always been important to her to be around the best people, so her degrees have brought massive value. Yet she has said
<br />that she learned about business when she ran one. Same goes for GTMM. So #spreadthegreen has been created as an alternate,
<br />relevant learning at an everyman-mba level specific to this emerging industry. It’s about understanding where the best people
<br />and proper resources are and accessing them to achieve your goals.
<br />The book is designed as a “show and tell” for ecopreneurs who want to create a green product, service or business,
<br />but have no idea how to go about it. It also features a rich assortment of relevant resources, and a glossary explaining
<br />the language of both business and green, eliminating substantial pain from the learning curve.
<br />#spreadthegreen features the ETV|MBA curriculum Dr. Gibson developed for her own GTMM incubator, EcoTech Visions (ETV) in
<br />Miami, FL. Along with specific information on how to start, certify and operate an eco product, service or business, her ETV|G.O.A.L.
<br />™ strategies and ETV| Seven Steps to Green ™ help readers take their product from idea to startup to market.
<br />Don’t try to read this book in a day. Rather, use it as a guide to be referred to over and over again as you progress though your green
<br />product and business development. If some of the content is familiar, skip around to those sections that aren’t. Likewise, return to any
<br />step for reminders as you journey through your creation process. It’s textbook-ish, only more fun. Instead of a grade, you can end up
<br />with a business and a product.
