Many of us has probably heard from news media and other forms of communication about conserving resources on Earth and making environmentally responsible decisions. However, I found this topic to be even more interesting upon watching this video from the website TED when John Doerr talks about profits in Greentech. John Doerr is a very respectful and renown venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.
Here is the link to the video: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/128
A variety of factors can impact Greentech including efforts from companies, policy makers, and people. However, the message seems to be a long tedious process to catch on, especially in a country like the United States where we have abundant amount of resources than other places around the world. Over time, I do think that Greentech will be important in our lives and that we do need to fix it, especially in the United States. Some futurists even predict that greentech may be the next big thing such as the Internet during theY2K era. I hope that the beginning efforts to think in Greentech terms will continue to evolve. The benefits of Greentech will be seen not only from an environmental perspective, but from an economical point-of-view as well.
