GE and Dow Jones are looking for great business ideas that combine environmental innovation and profitability, because we truly believe that "green" business represents good business. In fact, we're so sure that environmental consciousness and effective business practice don't have to diverge, we're going to put up some green to help that belief along — $50,000 of it. So if you're a university student, an MBA candidate or a confident entrepreneur, submit your business idea and you could win $50,000. If you have an enterprise to help the earth, it's time to get it off the ground.
