Let's face the facts: one reason the planet is a very damaged place, when it comes to the environment, is basic human nature. That same drive to advance ourselves that pushed the world of change to bring us railroads teeming with black smoke-belching trains and convenient chemicals that were eventually identified as toxic can be re-purposed for far better things say capitalism enthusiasts. Let's take a look at what money has to do with moving our planet to a healthier place.
The advocates of using innovative and financially motivated means to bring about energy efficient changes say that money may be the true 'eco-makeover'. When it starts to be not just positive, but positively profitable to make adjustments then we are definitely going to relish the full changes possible. Katie Kieffer of Townhall.com wrote a recent column (http://townhall.com/columnists/katiekieffer/2011/04/25/green_technology_needs_capitalism) in which she stated that capitalistic techniques will save the world, so to say. She mentions that wiser innovations for the tech industries greatly needed "rare earths" that are now strip mined in China could be better for the planet, the companies that lead the way, and our purse strings, also.
Please remember that companies are not the only ones that reap benefits in a green revolution where finances are concerned. Consumers could get paid for producing clean energy. In fact, according to a recent Huffington Post article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/08/solar-power-users-paid-fo_n_820444.html), in the state of Tennessee this is already the case. Several individuals in Nashville receive payments for feeding power back into the grid that come from the solar panel arrays on top of their houses. That is an amazing way to really make money from helping make the planet a safer, cleaner and less costly place in which to live.
Many are now choosing to make a difference and it is saving them money or bringing in more money. Many corporations are looking towards an eco shopping bag wholesale product having been made aware that the PR this can generate will be positive and, over time, very profitable. Companies that have a good public image find success even easier to obtain. Even the typical person picking a retailer that features eco reusable bags is likely to be shopping in a more conscientious setting where lower prices, or at the least higher quality merchandise, are much more likely to be found. Really, changes are being seen all over.
So does money matter when it comes to improving our world? Plenty of examples say yes. If people profit, they truly do enjoy participating in making improvements and it makes the experience positive for them and their families, also. This is a big part of the way that we are coming to see the power of cash in creating a cleaner earth.
