How does a business contribute to the country's economy?

Well ... if your thinking money wise, there are many businesses that run just for making a change in the world ... have you ever heard of hubs? its a food store that only sells locally raised meats and chicken eggs, even honey that was made nearby! Ever heard of the Plastic Reunion its a store that sells bags and purses made out of plastic! Plus you can donate many of your plastic bags from Walmart or City market and they will create bags out of them!
