Investment Green: Identifying the Need
The need for investing green on this planet is clear. If we look inward and examine our own hearts, the truth is that we’ve known for at least the last 20 to 30 years that investing green was the right thing to do. Our morals convicted us, but our need for financial security caused hesitation. All of that is over now.
Today, as mentioned elsewhere on this site, one need not be convicted about matters of social responsibility in order to invest green. Today, investing green is simply a smart financial move. According to Tobin Smith in his book entitled Billion Dollar Green, he makes the point time and again that even if you remove all of the socially responsible aspects of investing green out of the picture, there are still many strictly financial indicators that make “Investment Green” a prudent investment decision. It is just no longer the case that our need for financial security and our drive for capitalism are in conflict with our responsibility to our children and our children’s children to preserve this planet for them. Even if you’re driven by nothing but pure unadulterated greed, you just can’t ignore the fact that the “Investment Green” industry is poised for a 12-fold growth increase over the next decade alone!
This being the case, Invest Green proudly announces the Investment Green Connection.
Investment Green: Filling the Need
This service will connect legitimate Investment Green Projects with forward-thinking green investors. These projects may already be up and running, or they may be startup projects.
Companies Green
Over the next few weeks, and then on an ongoing basis, Invest Green will be compiling a “Companies Green” list. This list will include two different kinds of “Companies Green“. The first type will be start up companies seeking seed funding, partners willing and able to provide capital, or other forms of startup capital for their business or business idea in the green sector. The second list will be of companies which are already established and whose stock is already showing some financial stability and/or potential for growth for the more discerning (and perhaps more conservative) investor.
Investment Green
In addition to the Companies Green List, Invest Green will also be compiling an “Investment Green” list. This will be a listing of investors who are either ready, willing and able invest green right now, or who are at least considering investing green and basically need to be sold on it. These investors will be able to choose whether or not they actually want to be listed publically on this site, or to be contacted privately about Investment Green Opportunities. This list will remain the confidential property of Invest Green, and will NEVER be sold or otherwise disclosed to anyone, anywhere, anytime for ANY reason.
Join the Investment Green Connection!
If you’d like Invest Green to consider you or your company for this list, or if you have questions or comments about the idea, please contact us today using the form on our Contact Us page.
