Green is the color between blue and yellow on the spectrum of visible light. It is evoked by light with a predominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm. In the subtractive color system, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; in the RGB color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors.
The modern English word green comes from the Middle English and Anglo-Saxon word grene, from the same Germanic root as the words "grass" and "grow". It is the color of living grass and leaves and as a result is the color most associated with springtime, growth and nature. By far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage. Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.
Dr. Tom Borelli discusses how green activists push companies too far to the left, causing harm to the company and eventually the environment.

Google is on a green spending spree. In July 2011 it had invested over $700 M in clean energy. Today the figure is over $850 M. How does it choose which startups and projects to invest in? Google's Parag Chokshi sheds some light on the company's decision making. "We invest in projects other investors might not invest in...we look for innovative technologies or the capacity for transformation in the sector, eg new evolutionary wind turbines or large solar power tower projects, like BrightSource's Ivanpah project in California's Mojave Desert.

http://goo.gl/fAEj8Y Investing in companies which have a radical green agenda can bring dividends; that's the message of Denmark's Energy Minister. Speaking to Saxo TV's Lea Jakobiak, Ida Auken says when resource prices are rising at the rate they are, those companies which have a radical environmental plan could have a real edge. It's worked for one of the world's largest facilities companies, ISS. The company's Jan Kreiberg explains how much ISS has saved by investing in technology that is particularly environmentally friendly.
The United States blocked climate agreements at the G7 meeting and that certainly is not good news, even if unsurprising given Donald Trump's statements on environmental policy. However, despite the official position, the reality, as explained in the video by Matteo Di Castelnuovo, director of the Master in Green Management, Energy and Corporate Social Responsibility (MAGER) at Bocconi University, is that in the United States itself, but also in China, India and Europe investments in renewable energy are increasing while those in coal are decreasing

In which John celebrates financial independence by explaining how minimum-wage summer jobs can become incredibly lucrative if only you save some of your money in a retirement account. In the US, the most common retirement accounts are called IRAs (IRAs have tax advantages), but any investment account will do. Just sock the money away in a low-fee diverse mutual fund, wait 50 years, and enjoy the magic of compound interest. Caveat: Obviously, I am not a financial advisor or investment professional. I am a novelist. Also, while it's a good idea to start an IRA in high school for most people, it may be a BAD idea if you're planning to seek financial aid from a private college in the US, because they might count your retirement savings against your financial aid application. (If you attend or...

Green finance and investment: Using policy levers to accelerate green capital flows If we are serious about limiting the global temperature rise to below 2°C, significant investment in low-carbon infrastructure is needed. To accelerate capital flows, low-carbon investments must offer an attractive risk-return profile relative to competing options. What policy levers can governments and public finance institutions use to improve the risk-return profile of low-carbon investments and create pipelines of bankable projects? On 28 April 2017, Robert Youngman of the OECD Environment Directorate discussed policies, instruments and institutions to address challenges in mobilising green finance and investment.

Although the renewable energy sector is maturing fast, still the developers are experiencing some hurdles to come to financial closure of actual projects. A prominent problem is that the technologies are generally associated with unfamiliar, high and unclear risks. Therefore a tool was developed that provides insights in the risks present in renewable energy projects, assists to communicate these risks and helps finding ways to effectively manage the project risks. This tool enables project developers and investors to identify risks, to assess the probability and financial impact of these risks and ultimately to prioritize the risks for risk mitigation measures.
