Big companies undertaking green initiatives to attract new investment.

[dmedin]

If the big manufacturing companies (including Volkswagen, here, and also all the big oil companies etc) want to attract investment from the liberal middle class they will need to start going green.  Seems like the momentum is really getting started now.  The advantage of this is that it will increase spending in the real economy, create new jobs and better ways of living.  Here, again, social change as opposed to markets are drivers of real improvements in the quality of life and the way we treat each other and our planet.

Token gestures or is this building momentum?
