Investing In Green Technologies.
Vab Media is a sustainable entrepreneur. We care about investing in green technology companies and sustainable alternative energy companies. *We have personally invested in companies such as Stans Energy and Molycorp which are focused on developing properties containing Rare Earth Elements (REEs), Uranium, and Associated Metals. China exports a substantial amount of unusual earth components.
Sadly, the volume of rare earth aspects isn’t limitless, and the supply will likely diminish. It may possibly be advantageous to make investments in uncommon earth elements, generally simply because new technological innovation relies on them. Green technology units, iPhones, iPads, tablets, and TVs are developed with unusual earth components. Picture optics and rechargeable batteries are also dependent on rare earth metals. As the quantity of rare earth aspects decreases, their cost will expand. Modern day technology will retain on attracting individuals, so men and women will undoubtedly carry on on purchasing it.
There are numerous uncommon earth components: molybdenum, platinum, lithium, thorium, zirconium, neodymium, iridium, rubidium, osmium, manganese, palladium, and many others. Lithium might be the most renowned amongst new technologies. Virtually all of our cell phone batteries rely on this steel. Some people say that mining for these green technologies is not completely green, however, this article goes into more details about the need to mine these rare earth metals in order to propel renewable energy resource technologies.
We love educating people about conserving energy and resources. One of the benefits of running an internet media company, is going green by not wasting tons of paper. We cut down on our carbon foot print by not having to drive every where, but instead meet and work with our clients via internet applications. We believe in moving our world forward by investing and using “green” products. That is why we volunteer each year at Green Festivals San Francisco. We started a Youtube Channel campaign called InvestGreen to raise awareness about changing America’s energy policies and ending our dependence on foreign oil. No worthy causes or changes happen overnight, but with the power of people and networking anything is possible.

A bleak present
I had a nightmare last night. I was in the future, I think, and I was running away. I couldn’t be caught because I wasn’t a local inhabitant. It was a bleak future, one where even computers couldn’t be used. They were out by the trash. One where owning a piece of land was one of the few things that would allow you to keep your life; a place where the fish was inedible, despite its abundance.
Maybe this nightmare isn’t so far off. I recently spoke to someone who used to work for the oil industry in Britain. He thinks ‘green’ initiatives are just delaying the doom. We’re making progress, but, is it fast enough? Will our efforts repair all the damage and chaos?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, nearly half of the nation’s waters are unsafe for fishing and swimming. There have been over 20,000 oil and chemical spills in the United States every year since 1991. The federal government has declared over 1200 “SuperFund sites,” EPA’s program to identify, investigate, and clean up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites throughout the United States.
On the other side of the planet, the livelihood of the inhabitants along the Niger Delta is being destroyed. The purchase of these lands by oil companies results in the installation of pipelines which cause deforestation and water pollution. One of the solutions to decrease poverty in Africa would be for oil companies to leave and restore the mangroves, which provide income via fishing and serve as a protective barrier for the inhabitants against storms and coastal erosion.
It doesn’t help that the big oil companies are persuading their employees to rally on their behalf, i.e.: Energy citizens. As much as we try to move forward with green initiatives and a reduction in energy, too many people presently depend on the living that working for oil provides and on the fuel that feeds our cars’ tanks. Fortunately, renewable energy may generate many more jobs than traditional energy creates. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, more jobs can be created within the renewable energy field than those created for the same investment in the oil and coal industries.
What can we do? For one, we can cut down our energy consumption by taking public transportation, installing energy efficient appliances, building with eco-friendly materials. We can also educate others and volunteer to clean the coast or help other environmentally friendly organizations. Finally, if you’re an investor, begin investing in renewable energy technologies.

How can I be more "green"?
How can I reuse, recycle? These are the questions I keep asking myself day to day. And after a while, it’s almost subconscious.
Here are some of the questions I ask myself when i run into the everyday events:
- Should I throw this can into the garbage if there is no recycling bin nearby?
- What do I need to do to conserve water?
- How can I reuse this plastic item?
I just recently moved into my apartment and decided to go to goodwill after reading “Going Green,” by Laura Pritchett. Not only were the plates I bought super cheap, but I also made an eclectic match. The set cost me $5-10, including a teapot kettle.
While hand-washing the dishes I bought, I kept saying to myself: “there’s too much water running down the drain. What can I do to stop this?” It helped, of course, that a week earlier someone mentioned that hand washing wastes water. But it remained ingrained in my head, and I made it a conscious habit to turn off the water when scrubbing. I also decided not to drain the water that I had collected for soaking the plates. I’ll just save it for the next time I wash dishes.
Going green is spreading, but do you make conscious choices all day? One way to start is to keep asking yourself, “How can I be more “green”? We’ve all heard it, but we need to start asking ourselves all the time, so that it becomes ingrained in our subconscious. It needs to become a habit, Don’t just recycle, but also reuse and conserve.
