Nice insight provided here. She seems knowledgeable and genuinely cares about sustainability. Green not only has profitable opportunities for the future, but also sometimes can have tax incentives and even grant. Best of all you're doing a good thing for our planet. 🌎

Excellent! I enjoyed listening to you. I am excited about this paradigm shift having read a course on Business and Environmental law during my master’s in law degree. I’m currently researching on “Responsible Investment: Gender inclusion in the Extractive sector” for my thesis. I look forward to learning

I appreciate the insight that was shared in this presentation. In my effort to learn more about another aspect of Green Investments, I take this opportunity to ignore trolls and naysayers in effort to come up with my own *positive* conclusion based upon my hunger to learn more about investing.

While impact investing to have an environmental and financial benefit is currently being hyped it's still a great framework that work being supported for the social good. I'd appreciate even more transparency and more concrete ideas there.

"sustainable" as a designer means to me, a person into heat-transfer physics any kind, of using solar-HVAC or it's not "sustainable" doesn't matter if it's a LEEDS certified home or not the place doesn't collect-store and use solar for heat, duh ...

So my design work uses same methods & materials to go off-grid, off-water, off-sewer and recycle the water is without funding and to battle a way into building codes the need or it's a game, yet real estate, the game has a long history.

That began in the Phoenix, AZ, area 'bout the end of the Civil War and boom-bust cycles recorded 'bout every decade since in local demographics, we just are watching massive hoarding of capital, that's not "capitalism" using it for trading disparate services-products fairly it's stashing it and grabbing even more starving the "economy".

Too bad about that ... maybe somebody needs to tell them to back off yet look at the fkn Dakota Pipeline they dig up people's graves to dig under the water supply of millions of people with guns and anti-personnel tanks to fkn with people praying, go to hell ok?

Hello. I enjoyed your speech. I'm interested in your opinion about crypto currency. I have invested in cardano. I appreciate any feedback. Thank you

This is pretty much wishful thinking. Investments are mainly opportunistic and short term. Customer loyalty is mainly based on price, that’s why it’s called mass-market.

What we think is not important, it is what we do. Cheap stuff always win. Cut cost is the essential of manufacturing. Sustainability is an investment with little return.

I don’t drink any beverages, but I buy Coca Cola shares. Investment is investment, all investment does is to maximise profit. It has nothing to do with ideology.

Government regulation is the only way for sustainable industries and it’s hard with all the cartels out there. Talk to people about that.
