Here is an interesting Christmas gift idea. Both unique and controversial. Anyone interested?
Social entrepreneurs are doing some pretty (http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2011/11/15/parties-as-path-to-peace/) amazing (http://smallbusiness.foxbusiness.com/entrepreneurs/2011/09/21/young-guns-reloaded-revisiting-worm-gold/) things (http://www.toms.com/) these days, with many taking unconventional and even daring steps to get the word out about their cause.
Among them is Peter Thum, CEO and co-founder of Fonderie 47 (http://www.fonderie47.com/). Thum’s organization helps fund the removal of illegal assault rifles in Africa – in part by selling high-end, custom jewelry made from AK-47s.
