Reddit mentions of Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build Competitive Advantage

thanks for providing me that link! that is great news that more and more companies are divesting from fossil fuel investment.

"As a strategy for raising awareness of the need for people to even just start thinking in a more environmentally conscious way, I'd say that large organized protests held simultaneously on major avenues in big cities around the world is highly effective, as far as a strategies go. And if that's not concrete enough for you"

I think companies have already started to think more environmentally conscious. It makes business sense to reduce risks for any company and environment is a definitely a risk as shown by BP. http://www.amazon.com/Green-Gold-Companies-Environmental-Competitive/dp/0470393742/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411946718&sr=8-1&keywords=green+is+gold

IMO the protest reminded me of occupy wallstreet in the way that people just showed up to protest but vaguely told governments to 'fix the problem'. I think it would have been better if the leaders of the march stated clearly their demands.

Do you think the protest caused any nation to drastically change their UN Climate Summit voluntary goals?

If is also very unrealistic to think we can suddenly move away from fossil fuels in every sector even in the next 40 years. Energy transitions take several decades to develop which rarely is mentioned in energy articles. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKlM9aJTz3M/UaQBCvFvLsI/AAAAAAAABao/4b7KnpVV0ek/s1600/transitions.jpg
