Adam Werbach had been an environmental activist since his school days. He ran the Sierra student coalition, and by 1996 was president of the Sierra Club. He also had a place on Greenpeace's international board. But in 2004 he alienated many environmentalists when he announced the 'death of environmentalism'. Having witnessed the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans USA, he concluded that major companies rather than governments or NGOs held the capacity to deal with the biggest problems.

Werbach's Act Now consultancy began to work with Walmart. He saw the long-term nemesis of the environmental movement as an ideal conduit for reaching the average American, and designed a programme to encourage every employee to make a change that would benefit themselves and wider society. Act Now was acquired by advertising firm Saatchi and Saatchi, and under the label Saatchi and Saatchi S has worked with companies such as McDonald's, Johnson and Johnson, and General Mills to foster intrapreneurship amongst workers.

Questions:

1. Discuss the relation between NGOs and business organizations.
2. Is Werbach an example of intrapreneurship.
