“Going green” has become a concern for mainstream corporations. Everyone is getting involved in helping humans reduce their adverse effects on the environment. According to The Wall Street Journal, venture capital firms invested $2.6 billion into the green industry during the first three quarters of 2007.
But the questions on many people’s minds are “Will green investments really help change the world? Are making money and helping the environment reconcilable goals?” These questions will be explored at the third annual Social Entrepreneurship Conference in April. The conference is sponsored by the Fox School of Business, the College of Liberal Arts and the School of Social Administration.
