Many of the global wealthiest people are making investments into industries and causes considered green. The Times posted a list of some of the largest investments in green done by mega wealthy along with associated article.
They're pouring money into the usual suspects like wind power, renewable fuel, renewable energy, solar power, electric cars, packaging, etc.
Yet I'm particularly delighted by funds flowing into some notable categories oft underlooked by the typical VC and Wall Street mindset which are very encouraging developments:
Hansjörg Wyss Switzerland £6bn Open spaces conservation
Dennis Washington USA £2.7bn Conservation
Alicia and Tannetta Fentener van Vlissingen Holland £2.4bn Conservation
David Rockefeller USA £ 1.7bn Sustainable agriculture
Nicky Oppenheimer S Africa £1.5bn Wildlife conservation
Ted Turner USA £1.2bn Wildlife conservation
Morris Kahn Israel £350m Environmental protection
Gordon Moore, founder of Intel, £1.8bn in biodiversity
Felix Dennis,UK £500 Tree planting
Go here for the entire list and get all the details on the players and their investments...
