Problem or Opportunity

    • Earthling Wishes is an upcoming small online business that will soon offer eco-friendly products to promote sustainable living and green parenting for households that are taking consistent steps (eco-actives) or some actions (eco-considerers) to reduce their environmental impact.

Only 7% of world leaders and 24% of lawmakers are female, allowing for male leaders in power to continue to call the shots (DOST, 2022)

Children in the Philippines are at ‘extremely high risk’ of the impacts of the climate crisis, according to UNICEF (2021).

The Green Parent Project exists, an initiative to educate, encourage, and provide sustainable options for parents seeking alternative ways of parenting (Manila Bulletin, 2022).

Competitive Analysis

Keys to Success

Earthling Wishes is new to the green business community, but we have several advantages that are sure to lead to success.

    • Home-based. No face-to-face transaction is needed for online orders.
    • Social media marketing campaign
    • Second-hand book giveaways every month
    • Interns earn work experience and professional hours rather than financial compensation, lowering overhead costs
    • Limited competition in the area

Verte Pilipinas, the only competitor in the area, offers plantable pens, Sugarcane Bagasse, and Cassava Biobags. Luckily, they don't offer essentials such as toiletries, other kitchen supplies, and organic skincare and make-up products.

Management Team

The team will initially be small, but tight-knit, to ensure smooth operations. All employees must have completed Junior High School, with a stellar transcript of records. They must be motivated and willing to learn, and volunteer experience is highly acknowledged. The following experiences they gathered will contribute to the success of the business.

    • Cristela Mejica, 3rd year college student taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, major in Financial Management
    • Cristina Mejica, senior high school student, Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)

Financial Projections

and Key Metrics

10 of 11

Milestone

Once granted some financial aid, Earthling Wishes will be able to serve moms and youth offline and online. We hope to build an audience first before offering new products. In three years’ time, we plan to build a small office store to keep available stock and to create a space for product images. In five years’ time, we hope to offer virtual and on-site internships for youth advocates.

Funding Requirements

An initial start-up capital of ₱10,000 would be sufficient to start a small business at home. Marketing would be done online with a minimum fee of as low as ₱500 for ads. Eco-friendly products to re-sell from three different brands would total less than ₱10,000. Earthling Wishes would mostly spend necessary expenses on eco-friendly packaging, as the founders prefer not to use traditional bubble wraps. It might be more costly than traditional packaging, but the business adheres to its ideals regarding sustainable practices.
