A lot of the content of this blog has operated at the point of intersection between environmentalism and finance.
Rather than some grand philosophy, the charge of financial environmentalism will be simply this:
- to identify the ways in which a change of process or capital investment may yield upwards of 10% return on investment, and
- then to communicate these changes or investments.
The amount 10% has been randomly selected. There is no reason for this other than it is a suitably round number. Being well above the long term government bond rate, it accounts for some level of risk and miscalculation. And at a double digit figure, it should be of sufficient interest to even a layperson investor, regardless of alternate opportunities, most of which will comprise indebted property accumulation.
10% is also a point where various forms of finance can be contemplated. This presents the opportunity for scalable environmental innovation to be adapted more rapidly.
The reason for the second criterion is due to the exigency of the climate crisis, which can really only be fixed slowly.
