This show was about the new green evolution. Many businesses are starting to go green, and it seems to be a growing trend. Recycling is a $238 billion dollar business in the US and has more employees than the auto industry. Chicago is becoming one of the greenest cities in the US thanks to Mayor Dailey. The city has started trading carbon and other greenhouse emissions. Trading carbon tops $1 trillion dollars worldwide. About 5% of the US population uses 25% of the worlds fossil fuels. Many hybrid prototypes for cars have been coming out. India and China are starting to catch up to the US in carbon emissions. Prices of corn have doubled due to the high demand in the US. Many people in the world dont have conventional energy so some organizations are trying to bring them solar power. Amory Livitz is trying to reduce energy use by using solar power grids in homes and businesses. Venture capitalists around the world are trying to make the world healthier and greener. They are trying to make safer water treatment facilities through their funds. Also, demand for organic food has been rising in recent years.
I think its awesome that so many businesses are trying to go green. Ultimatley it will save us energy and money, which will hopefully help boost our economy a little bit. I hope the venture capitalists keep up the good work they are doing. Recently my mother has been buying more organic foods and milk. I appreciate this very much, because not only is it healthier, but it tastes better as well.
